ActivIdentity 4TRESS Now Delivers Granular Authentication Controls
July 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
ActivIdentity®, part of HID Global®, announced the latest version of its 4TRESS products.
ActivIdentity 4TRESS provides complete multi-layered versatile strong authentication for enterprises looking to secure access conveniently. This update enables soft token One-Time-Password (OTP) solutions to be easily controlled based on the type of OS and the version of the soft token.
New 4TRESS Authentication Server Features Include:
– Control over which soft token platform is used in a particular environment. For example, a user can decide to enable iOS, Windows and Blackberry but disable usage from Android and J2ME phones.
– Version control for any and all soft tokens. For example, a user could enable the usage of the soft token v.4.1.1 running on iOS but disable access from the soft token v4.0.1 running on iOS, or any other iteration.
– Software version reports which give users the ability see how many end-users they have from any type of operating system, or even the version of the soft token used. For example, a system administrator could run a report which would determine that 20 percent of users are running Android, and 30 percent of those are using soft token version 4.0.1 with the other 70 percent using version 4.1.1.
Availability
The latest version of the 4TRESS solution is available immediately for the Authentication Server and AAA Server for Remote Access solutions. It will be available in the first quarter of 2013 for the Authentication Appliance.
