Sunnyvale, CA, June 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Nordic Edge has integrated support for the innovative hardware token from Yubico. The combined solutions give organizations increased flexibility and versatility in their authentication solutions. Customers who already are using the YubiKey with Nordic Edge solutions include European e-governments.
By combining the hardware token YubiKey from Yubico and the OTP authentication server from Nordic Edge, organizations have a wide choice of cutting edge authentication methods available at their fingertips. With all authentication methods available simultaneously, end-users can choose to use the YubiKey, SMS authentication, the mobile client Pledge or even get their one-time passwords sent to their e-mail or via a chat client.
“The YubiKey together with OTP Server 3 is such a powerful combination,” says Jim Carlsson, CEO, Nordic Edge. “With this setup you can combine hardware tokens with tokenless authentication methods and have your users choose the form of authentication that fits them and their needs the best.“
The solution comes with Self-Service Key Enrollment of the keys. This means that rolling out the solution in the organization can be fast, easy and cost efficient and doesn’t require the involvement of the help desk or administration.
“If your organization is looking to invest in versatile and user friendly authentication solutions, then this is a perfect fit, ” says Stina Ehrensvärd, CEO Yubico.
