Simplifying Credential Management: FIDO2 + Entra ID + Axiad

To maintain resilience against modern cyber-attacks, modern enterprises need to support a wide range of authentication credentials: from X.509-based certificates to FIDO passkeys, from LDAP to OAuth, and from Kerberos to hardware-hosted tokens. Managing the lifecycles of these disparate credentials, from issuance to revocation or renewal, is no easy task. Some (like FIDO) were designed for individual user authentication, and some (like LDAP) were developed for large-scale IT admin automation. Unifying these different approaches in an advanced but simple credential management system is the path to resilient, enterprise-class authentication. Microsoft’s Entra ID is an industry-leading identity and access management solution that provides authentication and authorization services across a broad swath of products uses. Axiad is a leader in credential management for complex government and private sector use cases. In this webinar, these two teams will join forces to show how new Entra ID APIs for centralized passkey creation and management can be leveraged through advanced credential management solutions. Attendees to this session will learn how Microsoft’s new Entra ID FIDO2 provisioning APIs can be harnessed by the Axiad Cloud credential management solution to deliver FIDO2 passkeys in the ways enterprises need them: in phishing-resistant forms; on behalf of IAM administrators; and in a unified, single-workflow system that works with other credential types. Key topics include: • How Entra ID’s new FIDO2 APIs help manage passkeys so they can be pre-provisioned for users and create a simpler experience on first-time usage. • How to enable credential-agnostic authentication processes that are simple and scalable. • Best practices for integrating these two technologies into existing IT infrastructures. This webinar is essential for IT security professionals, federal agency representatives, and anyone involved in designing or managing credentialing processes.
