LogicaCMGhas joined forces
withArcotto launch a software-based
two-factor authentication system in Europe.
LogicaCMG said software two-factor authentication was proving
popular in the US because of increased customer demand for
organisations to provide security assurances.
Arcot developed the software, which has been built into
LogicaCMG's existing Assure authentication platform.
Tim Best, director of enterprise security solutions at
LogicaCMG, said using Arcot's technology, Assure could provide
increased security at 20% of the cost of hardware-based
systems.
He said software-based systems could also be distributed easily,
eliminating the need to buy, issue and maintain hardware
devices.
