Tata Communications has partnered with SafeNet to provide cloud-based multi-factor authentication as a managed service - globally. A first-of-its-kind service in India, the cloud-based delivery model enables businesses to implement an additional security layer that verifies the legitimacy of a transaction and secures access to corporate networks.
Tata Communications’ cloud-based multi-factor authentication offers both hard and soft token authentication, creating a layered defence system, which makes it more difficult for unauthorized personnel to access a computer system or network.
Prakash Panjwani, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Data Protection Solutions, SafeNet, says, “Rising threats, risks and vulnerabilities as well as changing business requirements, emphasize the need for a strong authentication approach. Our partnership with Tata Communications will allow businesses to feel secure about their cloud and mobility initiatives. It will enable an extra layer of safekeeping that is imperative when adopting a holistic security infrastructure while keeping the cost of implementation down. Customers will benefit from a strong, integrated platform that will help them identify and implement more secure solutions for protecting their most valuable information.”
Multi-factor authentication is delivered via tokens that generate a constantly changing key code that is used in addition to the usual static password. The token provides a supplementary layer of security as only authorized users are provided with these tokens. Based on the user preference, the tokens can be installed on computers or mobile devices. Tata Communications supports this process with a 24x7 helpdesk.
