SAUSALITO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 9, 2015) - SMS PASSCODE, a technology leader in adaptive multi-factor authentication, today introduced a new version of its adaptive multi-factor authentication software platform, to help IT and security professionals ensure the safety of corporate networks and applications by dynamically authenticating users through their mobile devices, based on geo-location and login behavior patterns. The solution secures remote access systems including Microsoft, Citrix, Cisco and Check Point.
As data and applications move to the cloud, user access is taking place remotely. SMS PASSCODE leverages this and provides authentication through mobile phones. The solution provides a superior user experience by taking full advantage of contextual information such as login behavior patterns, geo-location, and type of login system being accessed. With this information available, the solution can assess the threat level and dynamically adjust the level of user authentication needed.
"For business leaders, who are becoming increasingly aware of the rising threat from hacking and tasked with minimizing risk for their organizations, the fact that more than 75 percent of all network breaches involve weak or stolen passwords is alarming," said Claus E. Kotasek, CEO, SMS PASSCODE. "Organizations are rapidly looking to replace hardware based authentication, and early generation mobile-based solutions, with more modern technology. However, most security solutions have a significant learning curve and are costly. SMS PASSCODE is pioneering a new generation of more intelligent, flexible and user-centric authentication, giving organizations the power to balance strong security with ease of use, making it convenient for end-users to maintain security compliance."
