Strengthening PBX security: Passkeys and the Vodia Phone System

Vodia PBX strengthens security with passkeys, giving users and administrators a secure, passwordless login method that eliminates many vulnerabilities tied to traditional credentials. Passkeys use public key cryptography, storing the private key on the user’s device and the public key on the server, making them resistant to phishing and credential theft. By reducing reliance on passwords, Vodia minimizes the attack surface in cloud environments and makes authentication simpler and more secure, while ensuring a smoother, faster login experience for all users.

Why Vodia is the Ideal PBX for Microsoft Environments

Many organizations rely on Microsoft as the foundation of their daily operations, but their communication systems often exist in parallel rather than in harmony. Vodia closes that gap by bringing telephony into the same environment where teams already work, turning separate systems into one connected structure. This approach removes friction between platforms, simplifies management, and gives IT teams better control and visibility over daily communication. It also creates a more seamless experience for employees, reduces operational overhead, and builds a stronger, more flexible foundation that supports growth, collaboration, and long-term scalability.
