Entrust IdentityGuard Named a Finalist in 2011 TechTarget "Readers' Choice Award" for Authentication Product of the Year

DALLAS, Aug. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrust, Inc., a leader in securing online identities and information, today announced it has been named a finalist in the fifth annual "Readers' Choice Awards" by Information Security and SearchSecurity.com. Voted on by almost 1,500 readers, Entrust's versatile authentication platform, Entrust IdentityGuard, will compete to be TechTarget's 2011 "Authentication Product of the Year" that's awarded in September 2011.

"With the most recent string of attacks and the latest FFIEC guidance, there could not be a more critical time for businesses, governments and financial institutions to reassess their authentication solutions and demand the best from security vendors," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "The Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform not only helps comply with the new FFIEC requirements, it also provides banking, mobile and enterprise authentication that help defend against the most threatening and damaging online fraud attacks."

Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to layer security — according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction — across diverse users and applications. Entrust's authentication capabilities include smartcards and USB tokens, soft tokens, grid cards and eGrids, IP-geolocation, questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or email), and a range of one-time-passcode tokens. In addition, digital certificates are used on mobile devices, in software and on smartcards and USB tokens.

Information Security and SearchSecurity.com readers will vote to determine the market's best security products, rating products and services based on criteria specific to each of 14 different categories. Winners receiving Gold, Silver and Bronze awards will be announced in the September issue of Information Security magazine.
