SMS PASSCODE® Version 4 brings easy two-factor authentication to Virtualized Desktop solutions from Citrix, Microsoft and VMware and for ISA/TMG
Virtualized desktops enable remote access to all the resources of the enterprise and that drives an urgent need for higher access security. The new release raises the bar in easy and more secure two-factor authentication protection of all the leading desktop virtualization platforms.
Copenhagen, June 8, 2010 – SMS PASSCODE® - The technology leader in two-factor authentication via SMS, today announced a new version 4 delivers the broadest two-factor sms authentication support in the industry including protection of user acces to Citrix XenApp for application virtualization, XenDesktop for desktop virtualization, Microsoft Remote Desktop as well as VMware Virtual Desktop infrastructure. These new platforms extend the already industry leading support for VPN, SSL VPN, Citrix, Microsoft, VMware, Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint and other technologies.
When an IT organization deploys a virtualized desktop infrastructure, all users essentially get a central “virtual” desktop that is accessed remotely. The benefit is easier user PC management but the tradeoff is that all the IT resources including the PC, applications and data are accessible if the users identity is compromised. This fact drives the need for increased two-factor authentication. SMS PASSCODE Version 4 introduces a easy to use yet more secure protection when compared to legacy hardware token based two-factor authentication.
“We are already widely used for accessing Microsoft’s remote desktop and Citrix Systems’ XenApp virtual technologies. We have taken this virtual lead and now extended it to all virtual desktop initiatives” says David Hald, CEO at SMS PASSCODE. Specifically, the new version 4.0 extends the award winning SMS PASSCODE solution with the following:
Industry leading Virtual Desktop Support
Version 4 introduces the industry’s broadest two-factor SMS authentication support for Virtual Desktop Infrastructures surpassing even the biggest vendors in the space:
In addition to the extensive VDI support, version 4 also introduces native support for Microsoft ISA / TMG server protected web sotes amd omfrastructure access as well as the existing VPN access.
memopasscodes™ - new innovation in ease-of-use
Often users are challenged with remembering complex code combinations that arise from the desire to have a fully compliant random code generation. SMS PASSCODE version 4 now introduces memopasscodes™, a novel innovation that changes this by enabling easy-to-remember code combinations yet generated to be fully compliant with random code requirements.
The version 4 also includes an improved configuration interface. SMS PASSCODE version 4 comes with this all-encompassing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure support as part of the standard license. Existing customers with current Software Assurance is automatically granted access to this new functionality.
