ENTU Entrust (MM)

Entrust enables secure, authenticated access to an organization's corporate network via popular smartphone DALLAS, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carrying too many electronic devices or smartphones? Consolidate your digital tethers and simplify your life. Entrust, Inc., a global leader in securing digital identities and information, now offers solutions to seamlessly and securely connect to your organization's corporate network via the popular Apple iPhone, possibly eliminating the need for a business-only communication device. "Entrust's mission is to enable users through affordable, convenient security solutions," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "Smartphones, including the iPhone, are ubiquitous in enterprise environments. We want to take advantage of this technology to safeguard corporate information and intellectual property, but also make the lives of end-users easier and more efficient. This unique solution helps to do just that." Compatible with the latest iPhone operating system, Entrust enterprise customers can use their existing X.509 digital certificates for strong remote access authentication via the built-in Cisco IPSec VPN client. This combination helps provide a high level of IP-based encryption for transmission of sensitive company information. Employees can authenticate via password, two-factor token or digital certificate. iPhone also supports WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication -- the standard for Wi-Fi network protection. Entrust also delivers a wide range of strong authentication capabilities that are designed to operate with the iPhone. These include out-of-band OTP transaction authentication via SMS, voice, or email; SMS soft tokens; as well as Entrust's unique eGrid solution that can easily be stored and viewed on the iPhone's screen. This ability, combined with the iPhone's native support of Microsoft(R) Exchange(R) for enterprise e-mail communication, Microsoft(R) Office(R) (view Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents) and Adobe(R) PDFs, transforms the iPhone into one of today's most versatile devices that is equally productive in both consumer and enterprise environments. In fact, a November 2008 J.D. Power and Associates study ranked the Apple iPhone No. 1 in overall customer satisfaction among enterprise smartphones users -- even topping the popular RIM BlackBerry. Additional iPhone enterprise applications include push e-mail, push contacts, push calendar, Global Address List (GAL) support, certificates and identities, WPA2/802.1X, enforced security policies, VPN protocols, device configuration and remote wipe as an additional security precaution. Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to layer security -- according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction -- across diverse users and applications. The platform's authentication options include strong username and password, IP-geolocation, device profiling, questions and answers, digital certificates, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid cards, SMS soft tokens, eGrid cards and a range of one-time-passcode tokens.
