SecurEnvoy Positioned in 'Visionaries' Category

SecurEnvoy, a specialist in tokenless two-factor authentication, recently announced that Gartner (News - Alert), an information technology research and advisory company, has positioned the company in the “visionaries” category in its “Magic Quadrant for User Authentication.”

The officials from SecurEnvoy said the company has been recognized for its SecurAccess solution. SecurAccess turns any mobile phone that can receive SMS into a ready-made authentication device. This solution cuts costs by using hardware that is already in circulation.

Unlike traditional tokens that take months to deploy and replace, SecurAccess can roll out more than 15,000 new remote staff per hour without the pain, cost or environmental impact created by legacy hardware distribution. The solution fully integrates into Microsoft Active Directory, Novell (News - Alert) eDirectory, Sun Directory Server and OpenLDAP.

Integration is simple as it requires no additional databases or hardware – not to mention their associated cost. SecurAccess also integrates with all leading remote access servers and web services including Microsoft (News - Alert) OWA, Citrix, Juniper and Cisco.

 “We consider our classification as ‘Visionary’ recognition of our adoption in the market, the acceptance of ‘tokenless’ which we brought to market and the combination of our capability to execute and our visionary outlook has moved our position, which has been moving up every year in the Magic Quadrant”, said Steve Watts, sales and marketing director at SecurEnvoy, in a statement “With our new version soon to be released we will continue in keeping with our motto at SecurEnvoy: We lead where others follow in this market.”

Andy Kemshall, CTO at SecurEnvoy, said in a statement that they “are pleased to finally be positioned as a visionary. We feel this recognizes our ground breaking work as the inventers and leaders of next generation tokenless authentication. This would not have been able without our great team. Everyone works passionately to keep up our success and improve our portfolio.”
