Out With the Old ... Entrust Announces Mobile and Soft-Factor Authentication Program to Meet FFIEC Guidance and Hard Token Replacement
DALLAS, July 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Offering Allows Organizations to Easily Adopt Entrust
IdentityGuard, a Single, Software Multi-factor Authentication Platform
Entrust, Inc., a world leader in securing digital identities and
information, announces the launch of an industry-leading hard token
replacement program. Beginning today, organizations that currently use a
hard token-based solution may trade in the devices for Entrust
[http://www.entrust.com ]'s mobile and soft token factors of authentications
in a one-for-one swap for up to 5,000 users.
To qualify for this special offer, organizations must either currently
use Entrust IdentityGuard
[http://www.entrust.com/strong-authentication/identityguard/index.htm ] 9.3
or higher, or purchase the recently launched Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0. A
hard token from any vendor will qualify for the program. Entrust will not
require users to turn in old hard tokens.
"As recognized by the most recent FFIEC [http://www.entrust.com/ffiec ]
guidance, the spike of critical, high profile security breaches have proven
that the old one-size-fits-all hard token model is outdated and vulnerable
to future attacks," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Conner ]. "There is no time like the
present to clear out technology that is more than 20 years old for software
solutions that truly address today's ever-changing threat landscape.
Forward-thinking organizations understand the need for a software
multi-factor authentication platform that not only allows for layered
security, but also allows users to seamlessly move to a new authenticator in
the event of a breach."
By selecting the award-winning Entrust IdentityGuard platform to replace
an outdated hard-token model, organizations have the ability to address
logical security needs, as well as physical security and mobile security.
Through its software multi-factor versatile platform, Entrust
IdentityGuard 10.0 brings together security solutions for these three
distinct, yet closely knit worlds. Users can easily manage and deploy a
comprehensive range of unique authenticators simultaneously which can be
issued based on specific requirements, associated risk and cost.
Organizations can also adjust security in real-time to meet the quickly
changing threat landscapes or future regulatory requirements.
As the only authentication platform that fully enables today's leading
mobile platforms for business, Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0 enables the
rapidly growing number of mobile devices that connect to corporate networks.
Using the platform, users can easily register their mobile device through
the Entrust IdentityGuard Self Service Module and have a digital ID
downloaded directly onto their device. Additionally, through the Smart
Credentials offered under Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0, organizations have the
ability to simplify the issuance and management of Smart Cards to better
integrate and secure physical and logical security.
To qualify for this special promotion, users must trade in their hard
tokens no later than Dec. 23, 2011.
