MultiFactor SecureAuth® for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Delivers Efficient, Inexpensive Solution for secure portals
IRVINE, CA July 12th, 2008 - MultiFactor Corporation, an innovator in 2-factor authentication, Microsoft web application security and VPN Authentication solutions today announced the availability of SecureAuth 4.5 for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, a secure access solution addressing security, scalability and portability for enterprise portals.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 is Microsoft’s industry-leading platform for document management, enterprise content search and data aggregation. Office SharePoint Server 2007 is increasingly being utilized as the offering of choice for enterprises looking to create scalable portals to both their internal users, extranet partners and customers. The ability of Office SharePoint Server 2007 to expose content, previously only available to intranet users, is unparralled in portal products.
MultiFactor SecureAuth® is Microsoft Certified user authentication, specifically designed for and integrated into the ASP.NET application framework. SecureAuth offers a deployable, non-phishable, authentication solution that requires no extra servers or infrastructure.
“Office SharePoint Server is a robust platform designed to meet the business needs and resource constraints faced by the enterprise today,” said Deb Bannon, SharePoint Senior Product Manager. “The integration of Office SharePoint Server with products like MultiFactor SecureAuth enables the enterprise to further secure content shared across the intranet and with extranet partners.” “SecureAuth utilizes native ASP.NET authentication and data integration features to seamlessly integrate into an Office SharePoint Server 2007 deployment. SecureAuth takes advantage of the new forms based authentication features in SharePoint Server 2007 to redirect the user to the SecureAuth solution and then conduct a secure, non-phishable validation of the user,” states Garret Grajek, COO of MultiFactor Corporation. “Upon authentication the user is then redirected back to SharePoint Server 2007 and the user obtains the roles and permissions set up by the SharePoint Server 2007 administrative console.”
In conjunction with the Office SharePoint Server platform, 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 Office SharePoint Server 2007 platform thus eliminating the need to create, or replicate, an additional data store.
