Versasec released vSEC:CMS 7.4 on November 12, 2026, introducing vSEC:CMS Identity, a multi-factor authentication server for vSEC:CMS and vSEC:CLOUD that enables instant FIDO2 passkey issuance. The PR.com announcement said the server is included for customers using vSEC:CMS Premium and vSEC:CLOUD.

How vSEC:CMS Identity Handles Passkeys

Versasec said vSEC:CMS Identity integrates directly into existing vSEC:CMS deployments. During initial credential issuance, administrators can generate a device-bound FIDO2 passkey for immediate user authentication with the server. The server can be deployed on-premises, air-gapped or within a private cloud, which the company said lets organizations keep control of their security infrastructure without relying on external cloud identity providers.

The release also adds hybrid directory orchestration: organizations can use their primary Active Directory account as the identity foundation to issue both PKI certificates and FIDO2 passkeys while connecting to Azure Entra ID, which the company said removes duplicate accounts and insecure workarounds. Administrators can configure short-lived temporary passwords for Domain accounts when a hardware token is misplaced and replacement is not possible. The update introduces full lifecycle management for the Yubico Security Key Enterprise Edition via YubiKey as a Service.

"By building upon the proven capabilities of vSEC:CMS, vSEC:CMS Identity ensures organizations can easily and securely extend their trusted credential management system into the realm of modern, passwordless web authentication," said Anders Adolfsson, Product Manager at Versasec.

Versasec's Earlier Yubico and Identity Provider Work

According to akta.pro company records, Versasec is a Stockholm-based software company founded in 2007 that provides credential management systems for enterprises in regulated sectors. The same records list three seed funding rounds, the most recent in April 2014 at $165,448, and total funding of $1 million. The records also show a December 2025 partnership integrating Yubico's FIDO Pre-reg managed service into vSEC:CMS and vSEC:CLOUD for zero-touch enterprise YubiKey deployment, and an expansion across Okta, Ping Identity and Microsoft EntraID to support FIDO Pre-reg availability.

Versasec's Prior vSEC:CMS Releases

Versasec launched vSEC:CMS 7.5 on November 4, 2026, adding post-quantum HSM migration support, native Thales SAS PCE integration and automated fleet management for YubiKey Bio tokens, PRLog reported. PRLog also reported that Versasec released vSEC:CMS 7.4 on June 26, 2026, adding vSEC:CMS Identity as a multi-factor authentication server for its credential management systems.

Versasec directs customers to its website for details on vSEC:CMS Identity.
