Entrust expands strong authentication platform

More organizations than ever before are now able to deploy the Entrust authentication platform, designed to protect access to Windows desktops and servers.

The Entrust IdentityGuard solution is now compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 – all built on Entrust’s support for Windows XP.

The Entrust IdentityGuard for Microsoft Windows desktop client enables organizations to deploy strong multifactor authentication for end-user access to enterprise machines.

Whether users are accessing the desktop while online or offline, Entrust provides a number of strong authentication choices, which range from Entrust’s patented grid card to one-time-passcode (OTP) tokens.

Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to layer security across diverse users and applications.

Entrust’s authentication capabilities include username and password, IP-geolocation, device, questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid and eGrid cards, digital certificates (in software or on smart cards/USB tokens) and a range of one-time-passcode tokens, including Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile.
