The Hyderabad-based startup was founded by Chakradhar Reddy Kommera and Rajkumar Kotha in July 2017.
The 62-membered team started off by building secure WAN communication appliances and progressed to digital identity and data security solutions based on biometrics and tokenisation (encryption).
But when they took another biometric-based secure computing solution to Microsoft, they were introduced to a whole new password-less future where core technologies came together to play a key role.
That’s how ThinC-Auth, the biometric device solution and the main product offering, was born.
According to the founders, out of the five global companies, Ensurity is the only Indian startup partnering for the global alliance of top security for Microsoft Intelligent Security Association.
Ensurity’s solution is integrated into the Azure active directory, which is Microsoft’s cloud service for identity and access management.
Users accessing enterprise systems (employees and vendors) can simply register their fingerprints on the ThinC-Auth device and connect the device to their PCs, operating systems, cloud applications, or email services.
Chakradhar says: “The device handles both biometrics and tokenising securely using FIDO2 protocol for password-less access.
Password-less login represents a shift in how customers will securely log in to their Windows 10 devices and authenticate to Microsoft Azure Active Directory-based applications and services,” says Alex Simons, Corporate VP of Program Management at Microsoft Corp.
Ensurity has been working with Microsoft over the last couple of years to integrate its ThinC brand of FIDO/FIDO2 certified biometric USB authenticators for password-less access with Microsoft Azure Active Directory, which are now available.
The team has been building its technology stack in anticipation of a world where digital identity and access would revolve around biometrics and tokenisation
