Stonesoft offers secure mobile authentication
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
StoneGate MobileID generates one-time passwords to access
corporate applications such as CRM and email systems
Helsinki, Finland - 30 August, 2010 - Stonesoft, an innovative provider of
integrated network security and business continuity solutions, today announced
the extended availability of the StoneGate MobileID authentication software
token for five additional platforms: Apple Mac OS, iPod, iPhone, iPad and Google
Android. Included in the StoneGate SSL VPN solution, the StoneGate MobileID is a
free client application that generates one-time passwords for secure
authentication to corporate applications.
The more common cloud computing becomes in corporate business and virtualized
datacenters, the stronger is the need for secure access to corporate
applications in the cloud. Cloud computing environments need to be accessible
and available to people at all times. However, this also represents a serious
challenge to security management. With single sign-on capabilities,
organizations can maintain optimal security management and ensure strong
authentication.
StoneGate MobileID is a free client application that generates one-time
passwords (OTP), which are used to provide secure identification to the
organization's mission-critical systems, such as CRM and corporate e-mail.
The StoneGate MobileID is now available for the following platforms: Microsoft
Windows, Linux, Apple Mac OS X, smart phones supporting Java such as Windows
Mobile and Symbian with native versions for RIM Blackberry, Motorola, Sony
Ericsson, Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad and Google Android.
"The new version of StoneGate MobileID brings a valuable addition to our
existing platform support, providing our customers a unique multi-factor
authentication solution" says Marco Rottigni, StoneGate SSL VPN Product Manager
at Stonesoft. "The software allows our customers to implement secure access to
applications in the cloud with the extensive identity and access management
system provided by StoneGate SSL VPN. This is extremely beneficial for any
organization that wants to make sure their employees can access necessary
corporate applications and data at any time while ensuring the highest level of
security".
With the StoneGate SSL VPN solution, organizations can provide controlled yet
flexible remote access for their employees, partners and customers. The solution
enables organizations to share information freely and yet have full control over
who accesses the information, when and from where. Like all StoneGate network
security solutions, the StoneGate SSL VPN solution is also available for virtual
network environments.
StoneGate MobileID software is included free of charge for unlimited client
installations with every StoneGate SSL VPN solution. It can be downloaded at the
