PhoneFactor Web Platform Enables Free, Tokenless Two-Factor Authentication Through Any Phone for Online Banking, E-Commerce, or Any Website with Important Information
Positive Networks, a leading provider of managed security services announced a new Web Platform for use with the company’s award-winning PhoneFactor two-factor authentication service. With U.S. website fraud accounting for more than seven billion dollars over the last two years, companies need an easy way to provide additional security. The new PhoneFactor Web Platform enables websites to easily authenticate consumer access using something users already have – their phone
PhoneFactor enables secure access to online banking and financial services websites and can be used to authenticate financial or other high risk online transactions. In addition, the Web Platform is an ideal solution for software-as-a-service providers to authenticate client access to their remotely-hosted data and applications and to limit access to licensed individuals. The PhoneFactor Web Platform seamlessly integrates with the existing online login and transaction processes.
Due to the hassle and cost of deploying traditional authentication solutions, access to two-factor security has been limited to a select number of users. And some websites have resorted to weak authentication solutions to avoid the expense of mailing out physical devices. Now it is easy and cost effective to deploy true two-factor security to all users – making secure online access available to the masses.
“The PhoneFactor Web Platform makes it easy for companies to secure access to their websites, web-based applications, and online transactions using two-factor authentication” said Sarah Fender, AVP Product & Service Delivery, Positive Networks. “PhoneFactor makes it possible for companies to provide a high level of security for all of their users, meet regulatory compliance guidelines, and differentiate their services through superior security.”
PhoneFactor eliminates the need to carry an additional device. It works with any phone, anywhere. And it’s free for up to 250 users. The free service includes:
- Unlimited authentications
- Free calls to 30+ countries
- Web SDK with easy plug-ins for ASP.NET, PHP, Perl, and Ruby
Additional features and users are available when upgrading to PhoneFactor Premium Modules. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing web sites and processes. For online financial websites, PhoneFactor enables easy FFIEC compliance.
Positive Networks will be demonstrating PhoneFactor to the financial world’s top information security executives in New York City on December 5th at the MIS Training Institute FinSec Conference held at the Roosevelt Hotel.
