Effective immediately, MTRIX is expanding its product portfolio to include the FIDO2 security keys from Swissbit’s iShield Key product family. In addition, MTRIX will be the first distribution partner to sell the latest innovation in Swissbit authentication solutions – the iShield Key MIFARE, which will be launched shortly. MTRIX is a specialist in strong authentication and has been supporting companies in the selection, implementation and operation of multi-factor authentication solutions since 2006.
“With the FIDO tokens from Swissbit, we are expanding our portfolio with solutions that help our customers to further improve their IT security. The iShield Key MIFARE in particular offers special added value for our customers with its combination of FIDO and access control. We are delighted to have gained a strong partner in Swissbit and to be the first sales partner to offer this product exclusively,” comments Malte Kahrs, Managing Director of MTRIX GmbH.
“We are delighted to have found such an experienced sales partner in MTRIX, which is known in the market as a proven specialist for authentication solutions. The many years of expertise in advising companies, combined with our FIDO2 solution offering, will enable even more customers to seamlessly implement zero-trust security principles and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication in the future,” adds Claus Gründel, General Manager Embedded IoT Solutions at Swissbit.
The iShield Key family
Swissbit’s authentication solutions include the iShield Key Pro and iShield Key FIDO2 product ranges. The iShield Key Pro, which is available with both USB-C and USB-A interfaces, supports additional security protocols such as PIV, HOTP and TOTP in addition to FIDO2. If required, the Pro version can also be used for applications in the areas of physical access control or secure printing, making it one of the most flexible security keys. The iShield Key FIDO2 is limited to the FIDO2/WebAuthn standards and its predecessor U2F, making it a cost-effective entry into the world of phishing-resistant authentication. The iShield Key FIDO2 is also available in USB-C and USB-A versions. All sticks are manufactured in Swissbit’s own semiconductor production facility in Berlin.
New product combines FIDO and smart access control
Swissbit is set to launch an innovative hardware security key that for the first time integrates the FIDO standard with NFC-based MIFARE DESFire EV3 technology. This unique combination enables additional functionalities such as access control, time tracking, and payment processing. MTRIX, as the strategic distribution partner, will be the first to offer the iShield Key MIFARE in the DACH region. Swissbit will reveal further information soon.
