SMS PASSCODE is an award winning recognized technology leader in a new generation of two-factor authentication solutions via SMS and secure messages. SMS PASSCODE offers a set of unique characteristics:
• More secure login process: The SMS PASSCODE solution is unique in the sense that the SMS real time service enables that the solution can incorporate a more secure login process prompting the user to first pass a user name and password challenge before a code that is valid only for that login attempt is generated real-time and send via SMS to the users phone. This protects against the modern threats like the Zeus malware that can compromise traditional tokens. There are other SMS based solutions but we are not aware of others that deploy this challenge based login that uses a session-specific code for increased security.
• Plug-and-play installation: The solution plugs directly into all the leading login systems including VPN systems, Web systems like Microsoft and Citrix as well as VMware’s Windows Deskop systems.
• Fault tolerant and scalable: It is designed from the ground up as loosely coupled components that can be distributed making it both fault tolerant and infinitely scalable. Components can be added and removed on the fly for 24/7 operation and redundancy is across all components including multiple SMS transmission services for carrier redundancy or global scale
• TCO is half that of a token solution: Over a 4 year period, the total cost of ownership is typically 40-50% of a legacy token solution as you do not need to distribute physical hardware nor repurchase tokens after a period of time.
SMS PASSCODE has garnered international recognition for its product merits including being named to the prestigious Red Herring Global 100 most interesting privately held companies, a Secure Computing Magazine’s Top 5 Innovator and a Citrix Ready Solution of the Year finalist to name a few.
