Profile

BIO-key International, Inc.BKYIInformation Technology

Sells identity and access management software, biometric authentication, and security hardware through subscriptions, licenses, and services, centered on server-secured biometrics that verify people rather than passwords, phones, cards, or tokens.

Combines PortalGuard identity and access management with biometric authentication software, server-secured biometric passkeys, mobile authentication, fingerprint readers, and FIDO-compatible hardware. The platform supplies multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, password reset, Windows sign-in, and application access through hosted IDaaS or on-premises deployments. Sales reach enterprise, education, government, healthcare, financial-services, manufacturing, retail, and OEM users through direct teams and channel partners, with operations spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Asia.

Generates revenue chiefly from multi-year SaaS subscriptions, alongside hardware, maintenance, support, and custom services. Server-secured, identity-bound biometrics distinguish the offering for shared workstations and roving users without requiring a phone or hardware token for every use case. Execution depends on resellers and integrators, customer adoption of biometric access, evolving authentication standards, protection of personal data, international distribution, and compliance with biometric privacy requirements.
