CHICAGO & SAN FRANCISCO -- As the curtain rises on the 2011 RSA Conference at San Francisco's Moscone Center, the Authentify team is commemorating the 10th anniversary of its phone-based authentication services introduced at the 2001 RSA Conference. In its 10 years, the Authentify service has authenticated several hundred million remote user logons and transactions for a diverse user base including e-commerce shops, financial services firms, corporate network and cloud based computing clients.
Portraying the telephone as an authentication tool was not easy at first, but Peter Tapling, President & CEO of Authentify is bullish on the prospects for the next ten years. "Using the telephone as an authentication factor was a different approach when we introduced Authentify in 2001. The most popular strong authentication or 2-factor authentication techniques were challenge response questions or physical tokens. Employing the user's phone as the 2nd factor was a twist. Today, the power and universality of smart phones contribute to the attractiveness of Authentify's phone-based 2-Factor and multi-factor authentication schemas."
Authentify's client base and the diversity of the applications to which its services have been applied is also a testament to the usefulness of the telephone as an authentication tool. Numerous financial services firms use the Authentify service for verifying unusual transactions or the additions of new payees to e-payment accounts.
Authentify has been recognized numerous times by industry publications as well. Highlights include SC Magazine's Readers' Choice Awards for Best Authentication Service and Best 2-Factor Authentication Solution, Frost & Sullivan's Global Product Innovation Award, and a Computerworld Case Study award for a phone-based authentication process deployed at Hewlett Packard.
Art Coviello, Executive Chairman, RSA, The Security Division of EMC congratulated Authentify on their decade of participation. "They joined us early, and I'm happy they've been able to participate for 10 years in a row."
