Entrust Datacard today announced the release of the Entrust
IdentityGuard Virtual Appliance, which enables organizations to defend
against more frequent and sophisticated enterprise level cyberattacks,
while increasing productivity for IT management. The new, two-factor
authentication solution offers organizations the ability to provide
users with secure access to a broader array of services and applications.
The virtual appliance solution is packaged to provide enterprises with a
turnkey solution that includes Entrust IdentityGuard authentication
software, a hardened operating system, a database and installation
wizards. This packaged solution eliminates the need for IT departments
to design and configure their own system, which provides a simplified
deployment experience for the IT management and the enterprise. In
addition, the solution includes a self-service capability that enables
users to manage authenticators at any time without the assistance of a
help desk.
“With threat levels continuing to increase for businesses and mobile
becoming the preferred way to access resources, it is important that
organizations look for solutions that are secure, efficient and flexible
enough to grow with the business,” said Ryan Zlockie, vice president of
authentication for Entrust Datacard. “With the Entrust IdentityGuard
Virtual Appliance, enterprises have access to a simple to deploy
solution that offers a broad range of authentication capabilities,
including mobile push notifications – one of the most secure and
convenient authentication methods available.”
The addition of the virtual appliance helps to round out the robust
variety of authentication deployment options offered by Entrust
Datacard, including:
-
IdentityGuard 11.0, the company’s longstanding authentication solution
which enables organizations to manage and deploy a comprehensive range
of unique capabilities; provide secure access to today’s leading
online, cloud and mobile platforms; and provide transparency and a
frictionless experience.
-
Entrust Authentication Service, a solution that leverages Entrust
Datacard’s proven portfolio of strong authentication solutions in a
cloud-based service.
“As we continue to expand our portfolio of authentication solutions,
it’s important that we are able to provide our customers with the
ability to choose the authentication deployment option that works best
for their business,” added Zlockie.
