Perforce Now Supports Multi-Factor Authentication, Adding Stricter Controls Over Access to High-Value IP
81 Percent of Data Breaches Involve Weak or Stolen Credentials; MFA Can Reduce That Risk
MINNEAPOLIS, May 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Perforce Software, a provider of solutions to enterprise teams requiring productivity, visibility, and scale along the development lifecycle, now supports multi-factor authentication in its version control software, Helix Core. This provides additional options for controlling access to its customers' high-value digital assets.
Perforce clients represent the top tier of elite global technology innovators, and the intellectual property they store in Helix Core is among their most valuable assets.
"Helix Core has always been one of the most securable version control systems because of its fine-grained access controls, high-visibility audit logs, strong password security, and secure replication," explains Tim Russell, Chief Product Officer at Perforce. "With this release, Helix Core now offers 360-degree MFA protection, adding to its distinction as the most securable version control system on the market."
According to the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Investigative Report, 81 percent of data breaches involve weak or stolen credentials. Multi-factor authentication can reduce that risk. In addition, version control systems (VCS) store the most valuable assets many technology companies have – their intellectual property.
Helix Core works out-of-the box with Okta, a leading independent provider of identity for the enterprise, and is configurable to work with other MFA solutions.
