The IndentityGuard platform allows businesses and government agencies to manage multiple authenticators and policies from a single solution, deploying strong authentication for web applications, Windows desktops or remote VPN access.
This relationship between Entrust and VASCO gives them the option of adding tokens for a select group of users, while deploying other Entrust IdentityGuard authentication options better suited for mass deployment, without running separate authentication platforms.
When it comes to rolling out multi-factor authentication tools to either bolster consumer confidence online or to help address the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines, organizations want to have integrated options they can manage from a single platform, said Entrust Senior Vice President Kevin Simzer.
Entrust IdentityGuard 8.1 with integrated Vasco Digipass/Vacman Controller capability is scheduled for availability in Q2 2006.
