CRYPTOCard and Harris team up to beef up security

Digital security technology maker CRYPTOCard has been chosen as the exclusive two-factor authentication vendor for Harris Computer Services.

CRYPTOCard said it has entered a partnership agreement with Harris that will see CRYPTOCard's two-factor authentication security technology bundled with Harris's complementary products, such as the SonicWall TZ. Both are Ottawa companies.

"At the centre of current customer trends we've seen a layered approach to network infrastructure, which is an industry best practice. However, no matter how much they've invested, several SMBs (small and medium businesses) still do not have a good password policy in place, which leaves every single layer of their network exposed," said Harris president Ernie Sherman in a statement. "Our partnership with CRYPTOCard not only expands our security portfolio to include two-factor authentication, but it allows us to help customers protect their current investments and enhance their strategic network technology needs in the future."
