MultiFactor SecureAuth® for Cisco VPN Authentication Delivers Efficient, Inexpensive Solution for Enterprises to Become PCI Compliant
MultiFactor SecureAuth for Cisco VPN access enables enterprises to become PCI compliant via strong authentication of their remote access users.
IRVINE, CA— June 23rd, 2008—MultiFactor Corporation, an innovator in 2-factor authentication, web application security and SSL VPN Authentication solutions today announced the availability of SecureAuth 4.5 for Cisco VPN Authentication, a secure access solution addressing specific PCI compliance requirements for large enterprises.
The PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) requires execution of various disciplines representing security standards, requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures for maintaining consistent data security on a global basis. PCI DSS requirement 8 and 8.5 state that users with computer access should be granted unique IDs and be authenticated accordingly. SecureAuth executes beyond the mandates of both requirements and addresses the concerns surrounding enterprise authentication for remote access users.
In conjunction with the Cisco ASA platform, MultiFactor SecureAuth is able to deliver a secure credential, mapped directly to the individual user. SecureAuth utilizes the enterprise’s already existing data store shared by the Cisco ASA platform; eliminating the need to create or replicate an additional data store.
“Through its unique user-self service interface, SecureAuth offers enterprise users a strong authentication enrollment process, capable of delivering authentication credentials to an individual's system in a user-friendly process,” says Mark Lamabiase, Director of Network Products for MultiFactor Corporation. “SecureAuth is simple to use. If remote access users do not have the appropriate credentials, they are automatically directed to the enrollment process session. For those with the proper credentials, immediate navigation to an access portal occurs. All of these features make associating a unique, secure credential feasible for the enterprise," concluded Lamabiase.
SecureAuth, secure in administration, access, and logging; all of which are PCI DSS requirements, is ideal for financial and commercial enterprises looking to meet these guidelines with a secure, cost-effective solution. SecureAuth is advantageous to the enterprise, in that it is a self-contained solution, providing user authentication, administration, and logging on the same appliance. The SecureAuth solution is a one-stop solution for enterprises seeking to meet PCI guidelines. For more information, please visit http://www.multifa.com.About MultiFactor Corporation
