Intercede's MyID Authenticator for Good enables thousands of
enterprises to eliminate insecure passwords
Two factor authentication through existing physical smart cards
or on-device credentials protects multiple business-critical
apps
Lutterworth, UK/Reston, US - Cybersecurity expert Intercede
today announced the launch of the MyID(R) Authenticator for Good.
This will enable Good Technology customers to replace insecure
passwords with two factor authentication across business-critical
apps on iOS and Android devices.
MyID Authenticator for Good allows companies to use existing
PIV, PIV-I, TWIC and CAC smart card-based credentials, as well as
FIPS 201-2 compliant derived credentials, to access secure apps on
mobile devices. Companies without existing smart card technology in
place can use Intercede's MyID credential management system to
securely issue credentials direct to mobile devices for use with
the Good-secured applications.
High-profile corporate security breaches over the last twelve
months have led to an increased demand from enterprises for
security systems that go beyond out-dated username and password
combinations. To meet this need and offer superior security for
enterprise apps on the Good Dynamics platform, Intercede has
developed the MyID Authenticator for Good. This will be made
available to Good Technology customers via the Good Marketplace and
is the first Intercede product to be developed specifically for
Good's digital authentication framework.
This latest announcement follows the recent introduction of
Intercede's MyTAM service, which is used to protect Android apps
running on the Good Dynamics Enterprise Mobility Management
platform.
Intercede CEO Richard Parris said: "Supplying enhanced
enterprise security solutions to Good's community of high profile
customers further demonstrates Intercede's strong ability to
provide identity and credential management solutions to large
enterprises and public sector organisations around the world."
Nicko van Someren, CTO of Good Technology, added: "MyID
Authenticator for Good further enhances the layered security model
Good already offers, as enterprise customers look to move away from
passwords and towards two factor authentication. Additionally, by
working together with Intercede, Good is enabling customers to
further reduce costs by ensuring systems are fully compatible with
existing smart card technology."
