Entrust Datcard expands portfolio

Entrust Datacard has expanded its portfolio of identity-based security solutions, which now includes a new Authentication Service offering that leverages Entrust Datacard's portfolio of strong authentication solutions in a cloud-based service."The rapid adoption of cloud-based applications within the enterprise is creating significant value for the business, but moving to the cloud is a complex process that has a significant impact on traditional IT boundaries," says Todd Wilkinson, president and CEO of Entrust Datacard. "Because of this, most organisations are not going to move everything over to the cloud all at once – rather this shift will be done as a phased approach and our customers are looking for a solution that provides the necessary security that takes into account the need to support legacy and new cloud-based infrastructures. Entrust Datacard is uniquely positioned to provide these essential elements to make this shift – from our legacy on-premise delivery models to our cloud-based approach – we have the solutions that help make the transition seamless for our customers."Entrust Datacard says: "As enterprises move their business processes to the cloud and their desktops to mobile devices, digital identity has becomes a business critical tool for securing information and application access. As a business adapts, it has become increasingly important that there are solutions that meet the ever changing security needs of the industry, while equipping IT departments with tools to quickly provision new applications and support new user communities.""Our combination of providing high-assurance mobile-based authentication with the lightweight deployment and workflow automation capabilities of our new Authentication Service enables us to bring stronger levels of security solutions to our customers in a much more effective way," says Ryan Zlockie, vice president of authentication for Entrust Datacard. "Our customers span across markets including financial institutions, governments and enterprises – all who do not want to compromise the security and authentication capabilities they need to secure their digital assets and workforce – whether they are moving to the cloud or using mobile applications. We provide the identity fabric that secures all of these digital business applications now and in the future."
