token authentication - new product on the market

["Axworthy, Heather" <haxworthy () UMASSP EDU>]

Hi all,

 

I recently discovered a new, very slick, token authentication product
called FireID.  In a nutshell, it's software that you install on any
smartphone.  No more need to purchase and manage the physical tokens.
If you are considering implementing token authentication, I would
definitely put them on your list.

I haven't personally used the software, but our office is looking into
tokens for remote access, and I am going to download the trial.

 

Thought I would share it with everyone.  

 

Thanks,

Heather
