Hardware-based authentication — the physical gold standard for phishing-resistant security.

About Feitian

Feitian Technologies is a global manufacturer of hardware security devices — FIDO2/U2F security keys, smart cards, biometric authenticators, OTP tokens, and PKI solutions. Their product range spans from USB-A and USB-C security keys to NFC-enabled mobile authenticators, Bluetooth tokens, and fingerprint biometric devices, all built to open standards including FIDO2, WebAuthn, PIV, and HOTP/TOTP.

Feitian produces authentication hardware for some of the world’s largest identity deployments. Their ePass and BioPass product lines serve government agencies, financial institutions, and enterprises requiring hardware-rooted authentication that cannot be phished, intercepted, or duplicated. Every authentication event requires physical possession of the device and, for biometric models, proof of the user’s identity.

As a manufacturer rather than a platform vendor, Feitian offers cost-effective hardware authentication at scale. Organisations deploying thousands of security keys benefit from Feitian’s competitive pricing without compromising on FIDO Alliance certification or security assurance. Their devices are certified to FIDO2 Level 1 and Level 2, with select models achieving Common Criteria certification for government deployments.

Why Layer7 Chose Feitian

Hardware-based authentication is the only form factor that provides absolute phishing resistance. A physical security key cannot be remotely compromised, socially engineered, or intercepted by adversary-in-the-middle attacks. For high-security environments — government, defence, financial services, critical infrastructure — hardware tokens are not optional; they are mandated.

Layer7 partners with Feitian because they deliver FIDO2-certified hardware at price points that make organisation-wide deployment feasible. Protecting only executives with hardware keys while leaving the rest of the workforce on SMS OTP is a half-measure. Feitian’s economics enable universal hardware MFA deployment — from the boardroom to the call centre.

The product breadth matters too. Feitian offers USB-A, USB-C, NFC, Bluetooth, and biometric form factors, ensuring compatibility with every device type in a modern enterprise — Windows desktops, MacBooks, mobile phones, and thin clients. Layer7 can specify the right Feitian device for each user population without forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

How Layer7 Delivers Feitian

• Hardware Authentication Strategy: Layer7 assesses your user populations, device landscape, and security requirements to recommend the right Feitian hardware form factors for each group.

• Procurement and Logistics: Bulk procurement, inventory management, and distribution of Feitian security keys across your organisation — including remote and branch office users.

• Identity Platform Integration: Registration and enforcement of Feitian FIDO2 keys with your identity provider (Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, Duo) and critical applications.

• Enrollment Campaigns: Managed user enrollment programmes including key distribution, self-service registration portals, backup key procedures, and lost-key replacement workflows.

• Smart Card and PKI Deployment: For government and high-security clients, deployment of Feitian smart cards with PKI certificate enrollment for digital signing, encryption, and physical access integration.

• Policy Enforcement: Configuration of conditional access policies requiring hardware key authentication for privileged access, sensitive applications, and high-risk operations.
