Our take
The prevalence of cybercrime leads to many people using a variety of complex passwords for different websites and software, including digital environments at their workplaces. Managing these passwords can be frustrating and easy to forget, and passwords are still susceptible to being stolen by hackers, putting the privacy of both the employee and the employer at risk.
Axiad provides a passwordless access platform for businesses, allowing them to implement easy-to-use MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) into all digital access checks to improve security, whilst minimising access friction. The platform also applies MFA technology to check the authenticity of files, helping to reduce the risk of phishing and file stealing.
While the growing prevalence of MFA within business software could present a challenge within Axiad’s niche, the company has recognised that it is much simpler and more secure to unify all authentication within a single platform. Through its MFA technology, the company aims to help improve the security of digital work environments, remove friction from software access, and make operations easier for employees and employers. A 2024 funding injection is being used by Axiad to accelerate product development, hire new talent and increase its sales and marketing efforts.
