Entrust Releases 'Finally ... Affordable Enterprise Authentication' Podcast

As the threat of unauthorized access to corporate desktops and networks continues to grow, organizations must protect themselves against unauthorized access to laptops, corporate networks or systems locally or over the Internet. Strong authentication can help secure the identities of users inside the enterprise and can add security to the corporate networks and resources. To discuss how organizations can help protect these networks through strong authentication, Entrust, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTU) has released the "Finally ... Affordable Enterprise Authentication" podcast with its Director of Identity Products and Solutions Steve Neville. The podcast may be downloaded at http://feeds.feedburner.com/entrust.

"A compromised laptop, desktop or corporate network may not only contain highly sensitive data that relates to the employee or customer information or company secrets, it also can provide unauthorized access to the entire organization," said Steve Neville. "The security of the laptop, desktop and of the network itself is only as strong as the authentication methods used to identify the users logging onto devices and granting access".

To date, Entrust IdentityGuard, Entrust's strong authentication platform offering a range of authentication choices, has sold over three million user licenses. For enterprise authentication, Entrust's customers include Xerox, Eurogiro, Goteborg University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, the Alaska Law Enforcement Information Sharing System, a top fashion retailer and a number of enterprises both large and small.

This week, Entrust will showcase its enterprise authentication platform at The Security Standard conference September 6 and 7 in Boston, Massachusetts sponsored by Cisco Systems and Microsoft. Entrust IdentityGuard also has been certified to be interoperable with both SAP and Oracle software.

"The flexibility of our platform allows organizations to help address the risk of fraudulent activity caused by the low security associated with usernames and passwords, without having to deploy a 'one-size fits all' solution," adds Steve Neville. "Unlike expensive battery-powered tokens, Entrust IdentityGuard delivers a range of inexpensive options that can be deployed incrementally to address the security requirements from a single open platform."

In this podcast, listeners will learn how enterprise authentication can be used for remote access, or web-based applications and provide strong authentication to a wider audience, with greater control and flexibility in determining how to secure different users and transactions based on the risk associated with those transactions.

Neville draws on more than nine years of hi-tech marketing and product management experience to drive the strategic direction of both products and solutions for Entrust. Prior to joining Entrust, Neville was Director of Marketing at an innovative Web technology company, NetPCS Networks, where he was responsible for all market-facing activities, including direct, channel and corporate marketing. He also was responsible for the company's critical web presence and oversaw the launch of NetPCS' leading-edge online interaction product.
