BIO-key’s PortalGuard selected by Florida County Governments

BIO-key International announced that the county governments of Citrus County and Sumter County in Florida have recently selected its PortalGuard platform for improved security and regulatory compliance. BIO-key is now supporting seven Florida counties and their elections operations. The public sector is facing increasing pressure from cyber security threats that seek to steal data or disrupt county government election operations. "It is clear that the public sector is under attack daily by entities looking to cause harm," said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key – PortalGuard. "County governments select our PortalGuard platform because it combines proven security capabilities with superior convenience and affordability while ensuring that only authorized users are granted access to county data. The most successful security initiatives are the ones that deliver flexible and cost-effective approaches for implementing highly scalable and redundant IAM solutions to reduce or eliminate cyber risks – this is the true value that the BIO-key provides its customers."
