Intercede has launched the MyID Authenticator for Good. This will enable Good Technology customers to replace passwords with two factor authentication across apps on iOS and Android devices, the firms say.
MyID Authenticator for Good allows companies to use 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 smart cards in place can use Intercede’s MyID credential management to issue credentials to mobile devices for use with the Good-secured applications.
Intercede says that high-profile corporate security breaches over the last twelve months have led to demand from enterprises for security systems that go beyond out-dated username and password combinations. The new product 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 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. Visit: www.intercede.com.
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.”
And 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.”
