DALLAS, Sept. 6 -- The Entrust GetAccess(TM) solution has always been a leader in providing highly secure, scalable Web single sign-on (SSO) capabilities to some of the world's largest and most demanding Web sites. Now, with Entrust's (NASDAQ:ENTU) release of the Entrust GetAccess 8.0 product, deploying organizations can take advantage of seamless integration with the award-winning Entrust(R) IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform.
A key component of a layered consumer security strategy, Entrust GetAccess 8.0 software can provide organizations with the ultimate in authentication flexibility by now supporting the full platform of multifactor authentication capabilities found in the Entrust IdentityGuard solution. Centrally controlled via policy, organizations can seamlessly protect sensitive applications and data with a wide range of authenticators, including machine, knowledge-based questions, grid cards, various one-time-passcode (OTP) hardware tokens, as well as out-of-band OTP via voice, SMS or e-mail.
"Particularly as part of a layered security model, versatile authentication is a critical capability for any security-conscious organization. Now that Entrust GetAccess 8.0 can natively leverage Entrust IdentityGuard -- our market-leading versatile authentication platform -- the result will be more secure and streamlined online experiences for end-users," said Entrust Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Conner.
A proven, scalable Web access control solution, Entrust GetAccess 8.0 also includes the ability to step up authentication based on the risk or sensitivity of a transaction. Leveraging a single native policy interface, organizations can choose from the wide range Entrust IdentityGuard multifactor authentication capabilities to dynamically protect access to sensitive online resources. Combined with increased performance, Entrust GetAccess 8.0 provides global organizations with a high-performance, standards-based solution for protecting their online presence.
Underpinned by Entrust's active role in the evolution of federation technologies, Entrust GetAccess 8.0 solution includes support for SAML 2.0, enabling commercial and government enterprises to easily share identities across different Web properties. Combined with robust standards-based policy (via XACML), Entrust GetAccess software can enable central management of access to multiple applications through a single portal, providing users with single sign-on to the applications and content they are authorized to see.
With the broadest support for Entrust IdentityGuard multifactor authenticators, flexible roles, rules-based access control and proven performance supporting many multimillion-user deployments, Entrust GetAccess 8.0 solution can help enable organizations in reducing administration costs while driving more services through Web portals.

It is a common-sense approach to strong authentication that allows organizations to apply the proper level of authentication tailored to the assessed risk for the access or transaction that the user is performing. Entrust IdentityGuard authentication options include one-time-password tokens, grid card, biometrics, questions and answers, out-of-band and mutual authentication.
