BIO-key International, Inc., a global leader in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and biometric authentication technologies, recently announced it has secured a significant new deployment with a major defense-sector security organisation in the Middle East.
The solution will support critical infrastructure and sensitive access environments using BIO-key’s advanced biometric and multi-factor authentication technologies.
The contract represents one of BIO-key’s largest security-sector deployments in the region to date and underscores the company’s growing footprint in high-assurance government and defense environments. The unnamed customer, due to confidentiality requirements, selected BIO-key to strengthen access security, streamline credential management, and deliver biometric-based authentication—without reliance on mobile devices or physical hardware tokens.
This milestone follows BIO-key’s recently announced strategic partnership with Cloud Distribution Co., a leading Saudi-based Value-Added Distributor. BIO-key’s collaboration with Cloud Distribution has accelerated opportunities across the region by combining world-class IAM solutions with seasoned local cybersecurity expertise and in-country delivery capabilities.
“This deployment represents a major milestone in our mission to strengthen the region’s cybersecurity posture. Working alongside our partners at Cloud Distribution, we’re proud to deliver biometric and multi-factor authentication solutions that help defense and government organisations achieve the highest standards of identity assurance while maintaining operational efficiency”, said Nicholas Prinz, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa, BIO-key International.
