10ZiG Adds Smart Card Authentication to Microsoft Entra and AVD, Expanding Microsoft Reach in Federal Space

10ZiG® Expands Microsoft Reach in Federal Market with Smart Card Authentication for Microsoft Entra and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), in addition to RDS.

PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, November 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 10ZiG Technology, a sought-after provider of secure Modernized Thin & Zero Client Hardware and Software for the DOD, DOE, all government departments and agencies, and other verticals, recently met the need for federal entities who are working with Microsoft RDS-based SBC and VDI deployments with required primary authentication via Smart Card Authentication support.

10ZiG added the mandatory support to include the essential Smart Card Authentication for RDS-based deployment across the full 10ZiG Zero Trust Linux-OS ecOSystem including NOS™-M Zero Clients, PeakOS™ Thin Clients, and any repurposed 3rd party hardware device via 10ZiG RepurpOS™ repurposing software. The update was validated via TLS and NLA based authentication methods and in conjunction with 10ZiG Partner 90meter, who certified this for CAC and PIV based authentication, as well as 3rd party middleware such as SafeNet.

Hot off the heels of that updated support, 10ZiG swiftly added the demanded Smart Card Authentication for Microsoft Entra and Microsoft AVD. The longstanding partnered history of Microsoft with 10ZiG always predicates collaborative support of joint directives including the more recent likes of Microsoft 365 G3 and G5 government plans’ eligibility for AVD for Windows support. 10ZiG quickly integrated this anticipated feature into our Linux-OS ecosystem, adding support for RDCoreSDK v3 into NOS™-M, PeakOS™ and RepurpOS™, also validated by 90meter, who certified this for CAC and PIV based authentication, as well as 3rd party middleware.

Ben Burris, 10ZiG Director of Federal Sales, “Our Smart Card Authentication support for Microsoft Entra and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is now in trial across several deployments and available upon request from 10ZiG, yet again showing further commitment and growth in the Federal market. We have a longstanding relationship with government and federal markets, supporting VDI with protocol and alliance partners such as VMware Horizon (Omnissa) VDI, and 90Meter for CAC and PIV support of hi-side network access, and are continually assessing new features.”
