CRYPTOCard’s two-factor authentication integrated with Evidian’s single sign-on functionality
CRYPTOCard announced its collaboration with Evidian, manufacturers of WiseGuard, the leading European Enterprise Single Sign-On solution. By making it simple to integrate CRYPTOCard’s two-factor authentication with Evidian’s single sign-on functionality, the joint offering will increase the opportunity for resellers to offer a highly-competitive, end-to-end access management security solution.
CRYPTOCard’s collaboration with Evidian increases security by eliminating the need for users to remember or document passwords – reducing help desk calls and related costs by as much as fifty per cent. The joint offering also increases user satisfaction and productivity by removing the need to remember, input, or manage password changes and makes it simple for organizations to comply with new security legislation and privacy laws such as SOX and HSPD-12.
By combining two distinct purpose-built solutions, CRYPTOCard and Evidian provide improved functionality over alternative offerings from such vendors as ActivIdentity and RSA. The joint offering provides end users with a cost-effective end-to-end access management security solution with superior features including single sign-on, identity management, provisioning, and dynamic access control in all types of environments: from traditional applications to web/J2EE applications.
The joint solution also provides a Primary Re-authentication feature, which prevents users from logging on, then leaving their workstation – thus preventing another user from accessing sensitive applications and data from their workstation. Productivity is also dramatically improved as the new solution provides the ability to switch between users within the same windows session.
