Intercede announces new strategic partnership with Microsoft

AIM-listed cybersecurity software group Intercede has announced a new partnership with Microsoft which will allow customers to bring FIDO passkeys into their authentication solutions.

Intercede said that a number of its customers have wanted to use FIDO passkeys on behalf of users on devices such as the Yubikey family of devices or smart phones.

However, the lack of ability to integrate credential management systems with Microsoft's Entra ID has been a barrier to adoption.

"I am delighted that by working with Microsoft this barrier has now been removed and organisations can benefit from stronger, managed authentication," said Intercede's chief product officer Allen Storey.

Intercede said it is now moving quickly to "bring this partnership to life". A first version of the implementation will be ready for demonstration within the next two weeks, it said.
