Axiad Cloud Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) for IAM supplements Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory on premises by implementing passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication for Microsoft Entra ID protected applications and services. Customers can easily use the same certificate-based credentials issued by Axiad CBA for IAM to sign into their workstation, on-premises resources, or Microsoft Entra ID protected resources. Axiad uniquely provides an integrated view of all issued credentials and enables end user self-service for credential issuance and management. Customers no longer need multiple tools for rollout or a separate system to manage authenticators and credentials. Axiad CBA for IAM supports a variety of authenticators such as physical smart cards, virtual smart cards, and YubiKeys.

Axiad Cloud CBA for IAM offers the following benefits:

• Increase IT efficiencies: All end user credentials can be managed with the Axiad Unified Portal. Axiad MyIdentities uniquely provides self-service into visibility and management of all authenticators, such as Windows Hello for Business, and certificate issuance and management.
• Improved user experience: Axiad MyCircle empowers the workforce to issue credential resets within their trusted circle, thereby avoiding lost time and cost of having to contact IT.
  
• Reduced friction: Axiad AirLock provides help desk automation by eliminating temporary passwords, automating administration, and enabling self-service credential management. Organizations can replace the use of multiple tools for enterprise deployment, management, and support of authenticators and credentials.
