SecureKey Technologies has announced the commercial availability of its cloud-based briidge.net identity and authentication platform – a solution that enables people to use devices and credentials they already have to perform strong two-factor authentication, bringing trust to mobile and online transactions. The briidge.net suite of extended enterprise federated authentication services is easy for people to use and reduces the number of user IDs and passwords they manage, without sacrificing security and privacy.
“Our briidge.net platform solves the trust problem of federated identification by offering a painless way to perform strong, two-factor authentication when connecting to online or mobile services without having to carry any additional tokens or cards,” said Andre Boysen, executive vice president of sales and marketing at SecureKey. “It also solves significant cost and resource issues faced by online services due to high incidents of forgotten passwords. briidge.net services allow users to authenticate themselves using their own third-party credentials with a high degree of assurance and enhanced privacy, and offer the level of reliability and security organizations demand.”
Organizations can choose between two briidge.net service offerings, depending on how frequently their users connect, and whether or not they want to support the use of third-party credentials.
