Arcot authentication available via Force.com

Monday, July 14, 2008

Arcot Systems announced the availability of its Arcot A-OK On-Demand multi-factor authentication and single sign-on service on the Force.com AppExchange from salesforce.com.

The Arcot A-OK On-Demand service verifies and protects online identities, sales data and other software as a service application with additional access security. The system uses a transparent software credential that is unique to each individual. With secure single sign-on users will have one password that, when combined with the ArcotID, will enable secure access to any online application.

A-OK On-Demand can help protect Salesforce CRM users from phishing, man-in-the-middle and other Internet attacks. It is transparent to users, who continue to login as they always have with their familiar username and password. There are no tokens or cards to carry and A-OK On-Demand installs in minutes using standard Salesforce CRM admin interfaces. The price of one dollar per user per month includes 24 x 7 email and telephone support.

“Many of our customers are interested in the convenience of single sign-on with something stronger than passwords for logins, but they want the same anytime, anywhere access they enjoy with Salesforce CRM today,” said Clarence So, chief marketing officer, salesforce.com.

Arcot is a provider of on-demand authentication for online payment with 10 years of experience protecting 20 million cardholders in the Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode and JCB J/Secure programs. [end]
