Yubico Rounds Out PortalGuard's Two-Factor Authentication Offerings by Adding a
USB Token to Prevent Unauthorized Access
December 18, 2012 15:45 ET
AMHERST, NH and PALO ALTO, CA -- Easy and cost-efficient two-factor authentication is now made
available by a partnership between PortalGuard, provider of a web-based authentication platform
and Yubico, provider of easy and secure login technology.
Strong two-factor authentication is vital for securing access to corporate networks and mission-
critical applications with sensitive information. To provide another secure access option to their
clients, PortalGuard chose Yubico's YubiKey, a small driverless USB token that simplifies the process
of logging in with a One-Time Password (OTP).
"Based on our analysis of complementary strong authentication solutions, we determined the best
combination of security, usability and cost would be the most important factors in selecting a
partner," said Mark Cochran, Vice President of Sales at PortalGuard. "We selected the YubiKey
because it provides a seamless user experience, is extremely cost effective and offers a high
security complementary authentication option for the PortalGuard authentication platform."
PortalGuard offers two-factor authentication for both login and password resets to guard against
unauthorized access in a world of keyloggers and man-in-the-middle attacks for both cloud-based
and on-promise web applications. PortalGuard offers a tokenless approach via a mobile OTP as well
as a Tokenless Transparent Toolbar (TTT) which sends a Time-based OTP or TOTP. Yubico rounds
out PortalGuard's two-factor authentication offerings by adding a USB-based token. The integrated
PortalGuard - YubiKey solution provides a two-factor authentication solution that is cost-effective
enough for small organizations, while offering a robust solution to meet enterprise client demands.
"Yubico is pleased to partner with PortalGuard, enabling YubiKey technology to work with solid
enterprise authentication software," says Stina Ehrensvard, CEO & Founder of Yubico.
The joint PortalGuard and YubiKey solution is a fully customizable standards-based authentication
platform that is completely scalable and is designed to run "out-of-the-box" on your existing
hardware. PortalGuard also provides an API which allows developers to tightly integrate its security
controls into existing applications. Free trials of the complete, integrated solution are available
through PortalGuard and trial installations are typically completed in about one hour.
