Eliminate Password Vulnerabilities with Fast Identity Online Technology
Partner with Iron Cove Solutions to implement enterprise-grade FIDO authentication. Secure your organization with passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication that protects against credential theft and unauthorized access.
Fast Identity Online (FIDO) is a revolutionary authentication standard that eliminates passwords through public key cryptography, hardware tokens, and secure device-based verification.
FIDO eliminates password-based vulnerabilities by replacing traditional credentials with cryptographic keys stored securely on user devices. No passwords mean no password theft, phishing, or brute force attacks.
Integrate FIDO with biometrics, security tokens, or mobile devices for robust multi-factor authentication. Each authentication request requires device possession and user verification.
FIDO's cryptographic protocols ensure authentication only occurs in trusted environments. Attackers cannot intercept or replay credentials, providing complete protection against phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Understanding the FIDO authentication process and its security mechanisms
FIDO uses public key cryptography to create a unique key pair for each user. The private key is stored securely on the user's device or computer, such as a smartphone or security token, while the public key is registered with the online service or cloud application directory.
When a user attempts to log in, the online service sends a challenge to the user's device. The device or computer uses the private key to create a cryptographically signed response to the challenge and sends it back to the service for verification.
FIDO ensures that all communication between the device and the service is encrypted using industry-standard protocols, protecting the user's credentials from being intercepted by attackers or unauthorized parties.
FIDO offers comprehensive protection against phishing attacks and man-in-the-middle attacks by ensuring that the authentication process only occurs within a secure and trusted environment. The protocol verifies the service's identity before sharing any authentication data.
Enterprise benefits of passwordless authentication
Remove the most common attack vector in enterprise security. FIDO eliminates password theft, phishing attacks, credential stuffing, and brute force attempts that compromise traditional authentication systems.
Provide seamless, frustration-free authentication for your workforce. FIDO delivers faster login times, eliminates password memorization, and reduces help desk tickets by up to 80%.
Satisfy stringent regulatory requirements for authentication and data protection. FIDO helps organizations meet HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and other compliance frameworks with verifiable security controls.
Lower total cost of ownership through reduced password management overhead. Eliminate password reset help desk calls, decrease security incident response costs, and minimize breach-related expenses.

FIDO (Fast Identity Online) is a set of authentication standards that enable passwordless login using public key cryptography. It provides secure, phishing-resistant authentication through hardware tokens, biometrics, or security keys, eliminating the need for traditional passwords while enhancing security.
FIDO uses public key cryptography to create a unique key pair for each user. The private key is stored securely on the user's device, while the public key is registered with the online service. During authentication, the service sends a challenge that the device responds to using the private key, ensuring secure communication without transmitting passwords.
FIDO eliminates password-related security risks including phishing, credential theft, and man-in-the-middle attacks. It provides stronger security than traditional passwords while improving user experience with faster, more convenient authentication. Organizations also benefit from reduced help desk costs and improved compliance with security regulations.
Yes, FIDO integrates with most modern identity providers and cloud platforms including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, AWS, and hundreds of SaaS applications. Iron Cove Solutions specializes in seamless integration with existing IAM infrastructure.
FIDO works with various authenticators including USB security keys, NFC tokens, biometric devices, and built-in platform authenticators on smartphones and computers. Through our CyberOne partnership, we provide enterprise-grade FIDO2 certified hardware tokens tailored to your security requirements.
FIDO implementation costs vary based on organization size, existing infrastructure, and security requirements. Factors include hardware tokens, integration services, training, and ongoing management. Contact Iron Cove Solutions at 888-959-2825 for a customized assessment and pricing specific to your needs.
Implementation timelines typically range from 4-12 weeks depending on organization size and complexity. Our rapid deployment methodology includes assessment, planning, integration, user training, and rollout phases. We work to minimize disruption while ensuring thorough testing and successful adoption.
Yes, FIDO inherently provides multi-factor authentication by combining device possession (something you have) with user verification through biometrics or PIN (something you are or know). This creates stronger security than traditional MFA methods while being more convenient for users.
