BIO-key International, Inc. announced four new Higher Education customer migrations to its PortalGuard IDaaS® cloud platform from existing on-premises PortalGuard deployments. The institutions include: Cerritos College - Norwalk, CA; Coastal Carolina Community College - Jacksonville, NC; College of the Mainland - Texas City, TX; Lassen Community College - Susanville, CA. A migration from on-premises to PortalGuard IDaaS enables customers to eliminate the hardware costs and resources of on-premises hosting while providing easier IAM and a better user experience.

Enabling all users to access resources with one identity quickly drives vital productivity benefits with less friction, better security, and greater access control. Higher Education institutions are attractive, high-value targets for cybercriminals because they hold masses of sensitive data, which is increasingly being accessed remotely. This dynamic stresses budgets and forces IT teams to adopt a more dynamic security response to cyber threats.

PortalGuard IDaaS delivers greater flexibility and security options than competitive solutions and provides enterprise-grade protection to safeguard applications and data from increasing threats.
