BIO-key partners with Al Majlis Group to expand identity security in the Gulf

BIO-key International has announced a strategic partnership with Dubai-based advisory firm Al Majlis Group to bring its identity security platform to government and private sector organisations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The collaboration combines Al Majlis Group’s regional advisory expertise and government relationships with BIO-key’s biometric authentication and identity and access management technology. The first phase will target a select group of priority organisations in the region.

BIO-key, which is listed on Nasdaq, said the partnership builds on its existing distribution channels and aims to move organisations away from passwords towards identity-bound, phishing-resistant authentication that can be deployed on premises or in the cloud.
