Entrust mobile and soft-factor authentication program

Entrust’s mobile and soft-factor authentication program will allow organisations that currently use a hard token-based solution to trade in the devices for the Entrust’s mobile and soft token factors of authentications in a one-for-one swap for up to 5000 users. The deadline to qualify for this promotion is 23 Dec 2011.

To qualify for this offer, organisations must either currently use Entrust IdentityGuard 9.3 or higher, or purchase the recently launched Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0. A hard token from any vendor will qualify for the program. The company will not require users to turn in old hard tokens. By selecting the Entrust IdentityGuard platform to replace an outdated hard-token model, organisations have the ability to address logical security needs, as well as physical security and mobile security. Through its software multifactor 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. Organisations can also adjust security in real time to meet the quickly changing threat landscapes or future regulatory requirements.

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.
