- Offering Allows
Organizations to Easily Adopt Entrust IdentityGuard, a Single,
Software Multi-factor Authentication Platform

Entrust, Inc., a world leader in securing digital identities and
information, announces the launch of  an industry-leading hard
token replacement program. Beginning today, organizations that
currently use a hard token-based solution may trade in the devices
for Entrust’s mobile and soft
token factors of authentications in a one-for-one swap for up to
5,000 users.

To qualify for this special offer, organizations must either
currently use Entrust href="www.entrust.com/strong-authentication/identityguard/index.htm">
IdentityGuard 9.3 or higher, or purchase the recently launched
Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0. A hard token from any vendor will
qualify for the program. Entrust will not require users to turn in
old hard tokens.

“As recognized by the most recent href="www.entrust.com/ffiec/">FFIEC guidance, the spike
of critical, high profile security breaches have proven that the
old one-size-fits-all hard token model is outdated and vulnerable
to future attacks,” said href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Conner">Entrust President
and CEO Bill Conner. “There is no time like the present to
clear out technology that is more than 20 years old for software
solutions that truly address today’s ever-changing threat
landscape. Forward-thinking organizations understand the need for a
software multi-factor authentication platform that not only allows
for layered security, but also allows users to seamlessly move to a
new authenticator in the event of a breach.”

By selecting the award-winning Entrust IdentityGuard platform to
replace an outdated hard-token model, organizations have the
ability to address logical security needs, as well as physical
security and mobile security.

Through its software multi-factor versatile platform, Entrust
IdentityGuard 10.0 brings together security solutions for these
three distinct, yet closely knit worlds. Users can easily manage
and deploy a comprehensive range of unique authenticators
simultaneously which can be issued based on specific requirements,
associated risk and cost. Organizations can also adjust security in
real-time to meet the quickly changing threat landscapes or future
regulatory requirements.

As the only authentication platform that fully enables today’s
leading mobile platforms for business, Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0
enables the rapidly growing number of mobile devices that connect
to corporate networks. Using the platform, users can easily
register their mobile device through the Entrust IdentityGuard Self
Service Module and have a digital ID downloaded directly onto their
device. Additionally, through the Smart Credentials offered under
Entrust IdentityGuard 10.0, organizations have the ability to
simplify the issuance and management of Smart Cards to better
integrate and secure physical and logical security.

To qualify for this special promotion, users must trade in their
hard tokens no later than Dec. 23, 2011.
