Software firm Cyber_Ark reports collaboration with Mideye, to offer authentication of remote end-users with the GSM phone for security.
Mideye’s authentication uses the SIM card in a GSM phone as the security token, thereby replacing the need for dedicated client authentication hardware and software, it is claimed. Remote end-users are identified with a secret password in combination with a one-time password that is sent to the user’s mobile phone.
What they say
Calum Macleod, European Director for Cyber-Ark, said: "By collaborating with Mideye we are extending the choice of two factor authentication to our corporate customers, providing easily accessible security. The beauty of the solution is that every employee now has a mobile phone and therefore deploying authentication onto the SIM care enables substantial cost savings in terms of initial investment, administration and support. Moreover, end-users like it because it is user-friendly which works with the whole concept of Cyber-Ark’s Vaulting Technology."
