ForgeRock announced a strategic partnership with Secret Double
Octopus (SDO) to extend ForgeRock's rich passwordless and
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) capabilities to enterprise workstations and infrastructure.
Initially,
ForgeRock will leverage technology from SDO to enable a unified MFA
experience for employees, contractors, and vendors. The new solution,
named ForgeRock Enterprise Connect, integrates seamlessly with any
ForgeRock deployment option, giving enterprises the ability to achieve
enhanced security for workstations, databases, VPNs, and servers. The
new solution will be demonstrated this week at the Gartner IAM Summit in
Las Vegas in ForgeRock's booth.
The initial product release includes:
- Workstation
MFA - Provides secure Windows and Mac workstation access with the
ForgeRock Authenticator App, with push and one-time passcode
notifications
- Desktop
Single Sign On (SSO) - Leverages the same workstation login credential
to single sign on to the rest of the enterprise for a seamless user
experience
- Remote Desktop MFA - Ensures secure access for virtual and remote Windows desktops with strong MFA
- Enterprise
Infrastructure MFA - Eliminates unnecessary friction with seamless
login experiences to VPNs, databases, and Unix/Linux servers
"Combating
unauthorized access and credential-based attacks is mission critical
for organizations to protect sensitive data," said Fran Rosch, CEO,
ForgeRock. "This strategic partnership will help accelerate our plans to
more comprehensively secure the enterprise against major threats."
"Secret
Double Octopus is thrilled to enter into this strategic partnership
with ForgeRock," said Raz Rafaeli, CEO of Secret Double Octopus. "We
look forward to exploring future opportunities to bring new solutions to
market that make authentication more seamless and eventually
passwordless."
ForgeRock Enterprise Connect will be available exclusively from ForgeRock.
Going forward, the two companies will share additional information when available.
