Authenex® Inc. and ASIERUS, Inc.(TM) Join Forces to Provide Complete Office Virtualization to Small and Medium Sized Business


The Authenex® Strong Authentication System (ASAS®) and A-Key® tokens help ASIERUS Inc.(TM) ensure their customers have peace of mind through secure access and secure mobile data

HAYWARD, Cailf. and SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 4 /- Authenex® (a leading provider of cost-effective authentication and encryption solutions) and ASIERUS, Inc.(TM) (a leader in outsourced network management and information technology support services) have announced that the ASAS® System is an exclusive part of EVERYTHING AnyWare(TM), a new patent pending suite of products and services that promises to increase business agility and continuity while reducing overall IT cost.

The ASAS® System is the most advanced, cost-effective and easy to administer network security system available. It enables organizations of all sizes to authenticate network and Web users, secure Web log in and ensure that data taken on the road is safe from loss or theft.

EVERYTHING AnyWare(TM) is a complete office virtualization system that remotely provides all aspects of a business's IT needs. This enables organizations to consolidate and maximize the use of IT, while dramatically reducing IT investment.

"The ASAS® System is a perfect fit for EVERYTHING AnyWare(TM), because it provides the highest level of security, while ensuring that access to our customers' critical information is simple and easy to use," said Jeff Goodey, Chief Technology Officer of ASIERUS, Inc.

The EVERYTHING AnyWare /ASAS® system improves productivity by enabling anyone to access their data and applications and do their work anywhere at any time. And it ensures that customer data is safe by taking full advantage of the complete ASAS® system:

A user plugs his A-Key® token into the USB port of any computer with
an internet connection and enters his PIN. The A-Key® token's auto
launch feature automatically launches a Web browser, which takes him
to the ASIERUS, Inc.(TM) Web Portal. A secure tunnel is authenticated
by a client-side certificate that ACert(TM) software (residing
securely on the A-Key® token) issues and is then encrypted by the
VPN end point certificate.

The token guarantees the identity of the user by generating a unique
One Time Password (OTP) six-digit authentication number and
automatically appends it to his PIN, then logs the user onto the
network. The user can then access his company's virtual office and
download his data onto the secure flash memory on his token and take
it anywhere, knowing that his data is totally secure from loss and
theft.

Whether working from a remote session or from his flash drive offline,
the data is never on the computer being used.

"This partnership exemplifies our commitment to stay ahead of the cutting edge. By adding strong security with transparency to the user experience, companies will find it extremely easy to adopt this technology. Working with ASIERUS will help usher in a new era of responsiveness and cost effectiveness for small to medium sized businesses," said Mike Kent, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Authenex, Inc.
