PRODUCT REVIEW OF THE WEEK: Peig | Passwordless Access

"Finding solutions that easily protect our user’s credentials was a challenge until we had a demo of Peig. The ease of deployment and the support from the Peig team has been awesome. With a slight adjustment to how our users access their needed applications via the Peig application rather than each individual application has improved productivity and our employees are actually more cyber security aware!"
