Riverbird choose MyID MFA to power TwinVerify - delivering strong authentication as a service.

Riverbird GmbH provide a comprehensive service platform used by multiple managed service providers (MSPs) to manage IT systems on behalf of end customers, many of whom are too small to have their own in-house IT departments.

With the increasing level of cyber-attacks, threat to business continuity a data breach can cause, and the need to comply with legislation such as NIS2, Riverbird saw a demand for adding strong user authentication to their Riversuite management platform.

Alexander Eirmann, Riverbird CTO, said: "Riverbird success is built on innovation, customer focus and responsibility, it was important to us that we chose an authentication provider that not only provided a high level of security, but that was also flexible and scalable enough to meet the needs of a managed service environment with millions of end points under management across thousands of customers."

Allen Storey, Intercede CPO, said: "I am delighted that Riverbird chose to embed Intercede's MyID MFA (multi-factor authentication) product into the Riversuite platform. Intercede's vision is to bring stronger authentication to every enterprise, in partnering with Riverbird we can now reach high numbers of smaller customers, effectively opening up a new market for Intercede solutions."

TwinVerify, provides strong authentication in an easy to deploy and easy to use manner. Built into the Riversuite managed service provider platform, customers can simply choose to opt in to the strong authentication method that best suits their needs, ranging from pattern recognition, mobile apps, FIDO passkeys and device bound phishing-resistant passkeys on devices such as YubiKeys.

Riverbird operate mainly in Germany, with operations in the Netherlands and plans for further expansion. After a successful pilot program, TwinVerify is now generally available to Riversuite customers.

Stephan Hardtmann, Celos Computer GmbH, CTO, said: "We have finally found a solution that allows us to implement 2FA for our customers, whose employees refuse to use their personal smartphones for authentication. Our customers benefit from this simple cloud-based solution, which eliminates the need for hardware authentication tokens, resulting in cost savings."
