SMS PASSCODE® version 3 Gains the Highest Trust of Customers Worldwide

Copenhagen, Denmark– March 23, 2010  - SMS PASSCODE®, an internationally recognized technology leader in two-factor authentication via SMS,  announced today that Info Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, has SMS PASSCODE® version 3, a winner of the 2010 Global Product Excellence in Authentication Customer Trust Award. This customer trust honor is the greatest endorsement to the fact that SMS PASSCODE® version 3 is ahead of the curve when it comes to the best-of-the-best products that can provide the highest security in the Authentication space

SMS PASSCODE is a new generation of two-factor authentication that is more secure than traditional alternatives and protects against the modern threats on the internet. When a user accesses a system, he or she is first validated with username and password. Once validated, SMS PASSCODE generates and sends a real-time one-time-passcode to the user’s cell phone via sms. The sms is only valid for that one particular login attempt. Once the code is entered and validated, the user is granted access. In addition to the more secure login process, SMS PASSCODE offers plug-and-play integration to employee login systems including vpn, web and desktop systems as well as a scalable and fault tolerant architecture.

“Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of SMS PASSCODE further validates our product as excellence-in-class and ahead of the curve. We are very honored to have yet again been selected for this award based on our industry leading two-factor SMS authentication technology”, says David Hald, co-founder and CEO of SMS PASSCODE. “Customer Trust is of the utmost importance to every one of us in our company as we believe customer satisfaction is the key to our success” he continues.
