Physical Authentication Security Key

At Digicomm 360, we help businesses protect their systems, data and users with advanced cyber security solutions that are practical, secure and easy to use.

Strong Multi-Factor Authentication Made Simple

Passwords alone are no longer enough. Cybercriminals target weak, stolen and reused passwords every day, which is why businesses are increasingly moving towards stronger Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solutions.

Our new AuthKey Physical Passkey Security devices provide a secure, hardware-based authentication method that helps protect your organisation against phishing attacks, credential theft and unauthorised access.

What is a Physical Authentication Security Key?

Physical Authentication Security Key (AuthKey) devices are physical security keys designed to add an additional layer of protection to your business accounts and systems.

Unlike traditional authenticator apps that rely on mobile devices, AuthKey provides a physical authentication method that users simply tap and enter a PIN to verify their identity securely.

These devices are designed for modern businesses looking for:

Stronger cyber security

Passwordless authentication

Protection against phishing attacks

Simpler user login experiences

Compliance-focused authentication

Secure access for hybrid and remote workers

The Three Core Principles of MFA

Multi-Factor Authentication works by combining two or more security factors to verify identity.

By combining multiple factors, businesses dramatically reduce the risk of unauthorised access and cyber attacks.

Something You Know

Passwords, PINs or passphrases.

Something You Have

A smartphone, security token or AuthKey device.

Something You Are

Biometric verification such as fingerprints or facial recognition.

"Since our telephone system was installed in 2008 Digicomm 360 have always been on hand to offer great service and support, and recently when we needed them, they had our system up and running within the hour. Responsive, helpful staff and reliable service."

Owner - Raine & Bea

"Digicomm 360 came highly recommended by Martin Harrington (Chip n Pin) who recently set up a card payment system for me, prior to the opening of my new boutique in Clitheroe. After talking with the Digicomm team, they put together a solution to install a telephone/internet line and WiFi at the premises.

When I first moved into the building, I discovered that the phone line had been cut and wires were in disarray. Tom Hyde (Engineer) was very efficient in safely reconnecting the wires from outside and setting up the new internet and telephone line. Since installation, I have improved efficiencies around customer communication by having a landline and Wi-Fi that enables my card payment system to work. I am also able to update Raine & Bea’s social media accounts while on site. An excellent service from start to finish."
