The deployment in Mozambique will feature BIO-key's PortalGuard On-Prem solution, which includes Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities, highlighting the increasing demand for robust cybersecurity measures in the region.

This collaboration leverages Runlevel's deep regional expertise and strong relationships with key enterprises, ensuring a more effective market penetration strategy.
This partnership not only underscores the growing need for advanced IAM solutions in these emerging markets but also strengthens BIO-key’s position as a trusted partner in the financial cybersecurity landscape.
