CRYPTOCard’s simple 2-Factor Authentication ideal for business

CRYPTOCard, a technology developer for heterogeneous environments, said its Asia Pacific distributor, Syntellect and Sri Lanka’s EDIsrilanka have been instrumental in furthering the rapid growth in demand for its two-factor authentication technology in Sri Lanka.

“As CRYPTOCard’s simple and cost-effective two-factor authentication makes sense from both a security and business perspective, it has proved to be an ideal fit for Sri Lankan businesses looking to eliminate unauthorized system access due to weak static passwords,” the company said in a press release.

CRYPTOCard makes it simple to positively authenticate all users attempting to access a VPN or Web-based system by coupling something in the user’s possession (a multi-function smart card, USB dongle token, hardware token, or software token), with something they know (their PIN). Developed to meet real-world requirements – where Linux and Mac workstations often live in a mixed Microsoft Windows domain, with Windows clients and Apache or IIS Web servers – CRYPTOCard’s event-based two-factor authentication tokens eliminate weak static passwords by generating a random password for every logon attempt.

“As a local company, EDIsrilanka truly understands the IT security requirements of the Sri Lankan market,” said Nalaka Devendra, EDIsrilanka. “CRYPTOCard simply provides the ideal identity management solution for Sri Lankan organizations as it is not only simple to install and integrate with any operating system, but is equally simple for the user.”
