Secure Computing Corporation, a leading developer of specialized solutions
that secure connections between people, applications and networks, has
announced the Middle East launch of SafeWord PremierAccess 4.0 offering
tight integration with Microsoft Active Directory. The solution is designed
for companies that want to adopt identity and access management using their
existing Microsoft Windows infrastructure.
With tight integration to Microsoft Active Directory, SafeWord PremierAccess
4.0 is designed to work especially well in Windows environments. Companies
can plug PremierAccess into their existing Active Directory infrastructure
and instantly administer strong authentication using the Microsoft tools
that they already use and know. This allows them to meet their obligations
to provide secure access to data with the least impact on cost.
"There is tremendous scope in the Middle East for state-of-the-art solutions
that extend and defend organizations' networks and applications," said
Sami Mulla, Director, Middle East, Secure Computing. "SafeWord PremierAccess
4.0 is ideally suited for vertical industries in the region such as healthcare,
financial services, real estate and the government sector. The solution
provides a highly secure, easy-to-use passcode system that replaces the
static passwords that many companies still use today. Besides, it has negligible
impact on customers' existing infrastructure and ongoing costs."
"In today's regulatory environment, it is organizations' obligation to
protect and manage access to corporate data and mission-critical applications.
Access begins with identity, and SafeWord PremierAccess strong authentication
establishes proof-positive identity for all users accessing trusted network
resources," Mulla added.
The SafeWord PremierAccess 4.0 release expands Microsoft support with Windows
Domain login and support for Terminal Services login, helping to extend
authentication capabilities for internal users and users in remote locations.
As customers roll out strong authentication, they can also rely on the
PremierAccess Enterprise Solution Pack (ESP), which provides advanced user
management, powerful reporting functionality, feature-rich access control,
advanced Web-based user self-enrollment, and support for a wide range of
authentication form factors.
PremierAccess is a key component of a complete Identity and Access Management
(IAM) solution that addresses the challenges organization's face in providing
secure anytime, anywhere access to applications, data and network resources
for every person who accesses the network - from employees and administrators
to business partners and customers. The market for Identity and Access
Management solutions is growing rapidly as organizations across a range
of industries gain awareness to the risks associated with providing access
to an increasingly mobile workforce.
