Authenex® and Aventail® Create an Alliance to Bring Organizations Complete Remote Access Solutions That Combine SSL VPN With Two-Factor Authentication
HAYWARD, Calif. and SEATTLE, Feb 7 -- Authenex (a leading provider of cost-effective authentication and encryption solutions) and Aventail (the leading secure remote access company), announced today an alliance that will enable organizations to deploy complete secure access systems that combine the best of two security sectors. Working together, their products make a remote access system that is cost effective, easy to administer and bulletproof to the end user.
Aventail delivered the first SSL VPN solution in 1997. Today, Aventail meets the communication needs of more than 2.5 million end users globally by providing them secure access to their corporate applications and resources from any computer or mobile device, anywhere, anytime. Aventail's family of Smart Technology SSL VPN appliances increases productivity for end users and IT professionals, while maximizing security and lowering costs.
Authenex helps organizations of all sizes secure the integrity of their networks and data. Authenex products enable remote, LAN, and web-based access control: encrypted, secure portable storage: end point (file and hard drive) encryption; secure file exchange, and secure storage and use of digital certificates and signatures.
"Organizations are quite simply more secure if they combine two-factor authentication with a VPN," says Richard Ting, VP Asia Pacific, Aventail. "Authenex has great products and we are delighted to partner with them."
The new strategic alliance enables customers to combine the best of both worlds; best of breed SSL VPN gateways and the most advanced two-factor authentication solution, the ASAS® System. This formidable package provides scalable and secure remote access that organizations of all sizes can count on. The ASAS System enables remote users to authenticate to Aventail VPN gateways via digital certificates and/or one-time password authentication. Once connected, Aventail ensures that communications between remote users and corporate applications and resources remain secure.
"Aventail has a history of being a forward-thinking company, always ahead of their time," said Sharon Lim, Senior Manager of ASEAN, India & Middle East for Authenex. "So our alliance just makes sense."
