Jamf connect syncs The Accounts, ATKey.Card NFC Eliminates The Passwords
AuthenTrend elevates smart card security by transitioning from PIN-based to fingerprint-based authentication. With AuthenTrend’s app and driver, users can seamlessly authenticate their fingerprint smart cards using ATKey on Apple devices. Additionally, ATKey functions as a FIDO2 key, enabling organizations to integrate both PIV-based and FIDO2-based authentication with a single solution.
For organizations with high-security standards, smart cards serve as an additional layer of authentication on Mac to prevent Phishing Attacks. By incorporating biometric authentication, ATKey enhances smart card security, shifting from a "knowledge factor" (PINs) to an "inherence factor" (fingerprint) for a more secure and seamless login experience.
AuthenTrend partners with Jamf to enhance enterprise device and user management, providing a biometric hardware authenticator that strengthens security while eliminating password-related risks.
