By eliminating passwords, HYPR removes the favorite target of attackers, all while simplifying the user experience, combining the convenience of a smartphone with the strong security of a smart card.

FREMONT, CA: HYPR, The Passwordless Company, has unveiled the HYPR Velocity Partner Program, a channel-based network that will allow leading cybersecurity partners to deliver HYPR's True Passwordless Authentication Platform directly to their business and government customers. The channel-centered approach aims to build an ecosystem-based on meeting the rising global demand to eliminate the security risks, high costs, and password-induced user frustration.

The Velocity Partner Program was launched with a founding network of 30 industry-leading experts, including resellers, system integrators, and technology partners, to drive profitability and accelerate time to the market. With HYPR's cloud-first architecture and built-in ability to seamlessly integrate with multiple identity providers, Velocity partners can easily provide True PasswordlessTM Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to their customers.

"True Passwordless authentication has become essential, as more and more organizations realize the risk and cost associated with passwords, especially during this time with remote working," said Larry Pfeifer, Founder of Consortium Networks. "As a partner of the new Velocity Partner Program, we are showing up to accelerate passwordless authentication while driving innovation and evolving how businesses protect their networks from the inside-out. With HYPR, businesses are finally able to solve the desktop MFA gap, eliminate customer passwords, and deliver lightning-fast login experiences their users have come to expect."

Despite spending millions of dollars on MFA, passwords remain one of the prime causes of breaches. By eliminating passwords, HYPR removes the favorite target of attackers, all while simplifying the user experience, combining the convenience of a smartphone with the strong security of a smart card. This enables users to log in up to three times faster than MFA, where passwords are involved.

To date, HYPR customers have deployed more than 50 million users across their consumer and workforce settings, helping to drive 300 percent growth in HYPR’s annual recurring revenue in 2019.

Partners accepted into the fast-growing Velocity program will have the tools and resources required to provide their customers with the industry-leading True Passwordless MFA and gain market share quickly with HYPR as a competitive differentiator.

“Velocity provides our customers with a diverse global ecosystem of technology, reseller and solution provider partners who are qualified to pair HYPR's industry-leading True Passwordless MFA solutions with their proficiencies and help them more rapidly evolve beyond costly passwords and legacy MFA," said George Muldoon, HYPR's Vice President of Strategic Alliances.
