CRYPTOCard Adds SMS Token To Innovative 2FA Managed Authentication Service
Stroud & Swindon Building Society Among First to Implement New SMS Functionality Within Existing CRYPTO-MAS Strategic Investment
CRYPTOCard, a leading developer of two-factor authentication (2FA) technology for multi-vendor environments, has today launched in the UK its new SMS Token as part of the CRYPTO-MAS Managed Authentication Service portfolio. The SMS token offers the flexibility of CRYPTOCard's existing two-factor authentication tokens - which are widely regarded as the most secure available - and additionally addresses the need for greater portability, affordability and simplicity, particularly among an enterprise's distributed workforce. Delivered as part of the CRYPTO-MAS Managed Authentication Service, it answers the market requirement for zero up-front investment and maximum ease of use.
Colin Campbell, IT Services Manager at Stroud and Swindon Building Society, is already using CRYPTO-MAS to underpin the organisation's 2FA strategy and sees the new SMS functionality presenting exciting possibilities, "We have been using the CRYPTOCard Managed Service for the past 12 months. Our users have total confidence in the system and find it easier than having to decide on, and regularly change, the traditional static password system we were using previously. We have just started using the new SMS token which answers our users' demands for a more portable and easier to use token offering, and promises tremendous additional operational efficiency advantages while maintaining all of the protection we've come to expect."
