Good Technology Introduces Trusted Authentication Framework to Enhance Mobile Security with Future-Proof Authentication Protection
Empowers enterprise developers and ISVs to introduce innovative authentication methods for Good-secured apps, increasing flexibility and reducing costs for organizations
NEW YORK and SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility, today announced a Trusted Authentication Framework, enabling enterprise app developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) across the Good-secured ecosystem to easily leverage innovative multi-factor authentication methods. This new framework, made possible by the unique, secure inter-app communication capabilities of the Good Dynamics® Secure Mobility Platform, delivers the flexibility for organizations to select the most appropriate authentication solutions without requiring integration with each individual app they're deploying. Early access Good Trusted Authenticator partners include Biometrics Associates, EyeVerify, Intercede, Mi-Token and Precise Biometrics.
The Good-secured app ecosystem empowers organizations to deploy secure and productivity-enhancing workflows to employees, partners and customers, and allows third party and in-house enterprise developers and ISVs to create new Good-secured apps and services using the Good Dynamics platform. Good's Trusted Authentication Framework extends these capabilities, providing a set of APIs that enable Trusted Authenticators to introduce apps or hardware that can be used to authenticate other apps across the ecosystem. Good's Trusted Authenticators are able to leverage many innovative authentication methods, including two-factor, one-time password (OTP), smart cards and biometrics authentication and to establish single sign-on (SSO) in tandem with these solutions.
The Trusted Authentication Framework enables organizations to provide a superior user experience by allowing for easy integration of new authentication methods as they emerge. In addition, they can take advantage of the Trusted Authentication Framework to build their own custom authentication methods in-house, and may realize cost savings by leveraging existing two-factor authentication infrastructures and reducing the costs associated with hard tokens.
"Security is one of the top concerns across the enterprise, whether you're an organization deploying mobile apps to your employees, customers and partners, or a developer creating one of those apps," said Dr. Nicko van Someren, Chief Technology Officer at Good Technology. "Organizations are seeking authentication solutions that provide both greater security and enhanced ease of use and the market has responded with a number of innovative solutions in this space. Integrating these capabilities with the Good Dynamics platform means that Good is now delivering an even more comprehensive, secure development framework that facilitates the creation and adoption of the most comprehensive mobile security features available."
