Cherry GmbH partners with Secfense to introduce Webauthn to its portfolio

BERLIN - July 17, 2019 - PRLog -- While being a leading global manufacturer of computer input devices Cherry GmbH is always looking for ways to support their customers developing solutions resistant to cyber-attacks.

Adding Secfense, a Central European cybersecurity company to its solution partners allows Cherry customers to take advantage of a new internet standard called 'WebAuthn' (web authentication.

'WebAuthn' standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium enables individuals and businesses to use their local authenticators (such as fingerprint biometric mice, keyboards, Windows Hello etc.) in the process of strong user authentication.

With the use of the Secfense User Access Security Broker and Cherry's biometrics hardware the Fingerprint Mouse MC 4900 companies can now take full advantage of WebAuthn standard and introduce strong authentication methods in minutes, without interfering in the application code.
