Nymi is a company that offers solutions for secure, passwordless authentication and workforce enablement, particularly in highly regulated industries. Their flagship product, the Nymi Band, is a wearable device that focuses on secure authentication and access control.
Nymi’s passwordless security is built upon advanced biometric, cryptographic, and proximity-based technologies designed to provide seamless and secure access across digital and physical environments.
HeartID™ Biometric Authentication
Uses the user’s unique electrocardiogram (ECG) as a biometric signature, ensuring that authentication is tied to a living, authorized user.
Continuous identity verification ensures that the authenticated session remains secure without requiring re-login.
Device-Based Security
The Nymi Band is a trusted, wearable hardware token with built-in cryptographic modules that generate and store private keys.
Keys never leave the device, minimizing exposure to external threats.
Proximity-Based Authentication
Leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Near Field Communication (NFC) for seamless, contactless access.
Automatically locks or logs out users when they move away from a secure zone or workstation.
Immutable Audit Trails
Creates cryptographically signed logs of user actions, helping organizations maintain compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and FDA CFR 21 Part 11.
Access Tokenization
Replaces sensitive credentials with secure tokens for authentication to enterprise systems.
Tokens are dynamically generated and expire after use, further enhancing security.
Mitigation of Credential-Based Attacks
By removing passwords, Nymi effectively eliminates risks associated with phishing, password spraying, and credential stuffing attacks.
Enhanced User Experience
Passwordless access minimizes friction, ensuring both security and productivity.
Compliance-Ready Architecture
Meets stringent data protection standards required in regulated industries like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.
Interoperability with Enterprise Security Systems
Works with existing identity and access management (IAM) frameworks, such as Azure Active Directory, Okta, and custom enterprise solutions.
Secure Revocation
Bands can be deactivated remotely in case of loss or compromise, ensuring immediate containment of potential breaches.
Allow to access FIDO2 applications with just your Nymi Band – no extra software needed.
The Nymi Band is a passwordless multi-factor authenticator wristband that faciliates contactless identity to multiple systems.
it creates electronic signatures are enabled within applications that support the FIDO2 standard. This ensures secure and compliant signing capabilities where FIDO2 integration is available.
Workplace Access
Secure, passwordless login to workstations, systems, and applications.
Hands-free physical access to secure facilities, such as labs, offices, or data centers.
Regulated Industries
Supports compliance in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and manufacturing by providing secure digital signatures and traceable user actions.
Cleanroom Environments
Eliminates the need for handling physical authentication devices in environments requiring PPE.
Data Integrity and Security
Ensures only authorized users have access to sensitive data, aligning with cybersecurity policies.
Operational Efficiency
Reduces login and authentication friction, improving productivity while maintaining security.
Remote Work
Extends secure, passwordless authentication to remote workers accessing enterprise systems.
