Enterprises seeking iPad security with SMS Passcode
Surge of interest from financial services and other sector leaders, in SMS Passcode two-factor authentication
SYDNEY, February 16. Banks, healthcare, utilities and other enterprise users are keenly interested in a security tool recently launched on the Australian market that protects iPads, according to leading security software distributor Aquion.
Aquion reports a surge of interest from financial services and other sector leaders, in SMS Passcode two-factor authentication, which supports secure enterprise access to systems including Cisco VPN and Citrix Receivers on Apple iPad, Android and other tablets.
“As iPad becomes a device of choice for enterprises, the issue of securing access to sensitive data increases,” said Aquion General Manager Audrey Lyon. “Stronger defences are essential, and SMS PASSCODE gives iPad and tablet users improved security through its unique SMS two-factor authentication delivered natively for Citrix and Cisco VPN users. Protection against unauthorised access to corporate data is achieved via two-factor SMS authentication, as SMS Passcode fast replaces legacy hardware token-based solutions for secure remote access for all endpoints.”
SMS Passcode supports a broad range of tablet access clients including:
• The Citrix Receiver client allows users to access any corporate resource via Citrix Web Interface, Access Gateways or Netscaler appliances securely with SMS PASSCODE two-factor authentication. • The Cisco VPN Client enables users to access corporate resources establishing a secure VPN tunnel securely with SMS Passcode two-factor authentication. • Other VPN clients supporting modern tablets.
Aquion is the sole distributor in ANZ for SMS Passcode. According to Ms Lyon, SMS Passcode offers a lower price-point, more security and easier implementation than competing technologies. Aquion has an established reseller base for smspasscode and is seeking additional Australian reseller partners to sell and support the technology.
