BIO-key International, Inc. announced that the cybersecurity group of one of the world's most respected government defense ministries has purchased and implemented BIO-key's software and hardware to secure access to their internal Microsoft Windows infrastructure. The initial purchase order, valued at approximately $257,000, will enable convenient, yet strong, authentication for the users of defense ministry IT systems and is expected to lead to additional opportunities as the solution is deployed more broadly. Revenue from the contract is expected to be recognized in the Company's fiscal 2018 first quarter. After extensive security testing and evaluation, the ministry selected and deployed BIO-key's WEB-key server-based biometric management platform, as well as BIO-key fingerprint scanners, to protect its existing federated Microsoft Active Directory environment.
