The order brings total business booked from this customer in the past 12 months to $1.14M with additional orders expected. Across the broader military and defense sector BIO-key has secured over $2M in total orders over the last 12 months, representing a substantial increase over the year-ago period.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Rising geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, have increased demand for hardened authentication across foreign defense and intelligence agencies. BIO-key\u2019s biometric authentication platform delivers strong, easy-to-use multi-factor authentication and identification. Unlike possession-based tokens and phone-based factors, BIO-key\u2019s \u201cwho-you-are\u201d approach effectively eliminates the risk of credential sharing and phishing and can authenticate users without requiring assigning them a separate device.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">BIO-key supports phoneless, tokenless authentication for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) areas\u2014environments common in defense and intelligence operations\u2014where phones, tokens, and other removable devices can be impractical or prohibited. At this customer, BIO-key now supports authentication for more than 50,000 licensed users, providing continuous availability and detailed auditability as the ministry expands to additional personnel. BIO-key\u2019s platform is designed to scale to millions of users across large enterprises and government agencies. Because biometric credentials are inherent to the individual, secure access to highly sensitive systems cannot be easily shared, delegated, phished, or forgotten\u2014critical factors amid increasing cyberthreats and phishing attacks.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThis ministry is among the most discriminating buyers of cybersecurity technologies in the world and a customer since 2017,\u201d said Jim Sullivan, SVP of Strategy and Chief Legal Officer, BIO-key. \u201cWe are proud to have earned their trust by delivering the highest levels of security, usability, and ease of deployment for nearly a decade. Our certifications \u2014 including NIST, FBI FAP and FIPS 201 \u2014 provide our defense customers a reliable, standards-compliant security experience that meets the rigorous requirements of military and intelligence environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cBIO-key continues to expand its presence with military and defense ministries that require reliable biometric solutions to protect critical national intelligence and other highly sensitive, eyes-only information,\u201d said Michael DePasquale, Chairman and CEO. \u201cIn mid-2025, we launched BIO-key\u2019s Defense &amp; Intelligence Cybersecurity Initiative, a targeted sales program focused on delivering hardened biometric authentication and IAM solutions to military and intelligence customers. The initiative has already helped harden the security posture of several new defense agency customers. Today, we serve military, defense, and other government agencies in multiple countries, including in Europe and the Middle East. Given rising global hostilities and the likely increase in cyberattacks, we anticipate continued interest and growth in our Defense &amp; Intelligence Cybersecurity Initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>BIO-key<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>International,<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=S0cezymANI7CSCvdDlfxtd4G28smIncxLagIgDOmbKuwSL0iyrSUgoe0OCPAcG48jDGGLxAZZ6OwqdEwNffqQH0EQZEopmxsRov7tBVzQZU=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">(<u>www.BIO-<\/u><u>key.com<\/u>)<\/a><br \/>\n        <br \/>BIO-key is revolutionizing authentication and cybersecurity with biometric-centric, multi-factor identity and access management (IAM) software securing access for over forty million users.
