Entrust's Versatile Authentication Platform Chosen for Russian Internet Giant
DALLAS, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Confidence in transactions is a cornerstone of the online channel. Ensuring that thoroughfare of information is secure is of utmost concern, particularly in markets or countries where fewer secure infrastructures exist. To overcome these challenges, Yandex.Money (money.yandex.ru) selected Entrust, Inc. and the Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform.
Facilitated by valued partner Rainbow Technologies Components and Systems (RTCS, http://www.rainbow.msk.ru), Yandex.Money will use Entrust IdentityGuard. Yandex.Money, one of the largest Internet portals in Russia, cited the versatility of the platform and the simplicity of implementing different authenticators.
Founded in 2002, Yandex.Money is one of the premier online payments systems in Russia, as well as the largest media partner in Russia for foreign merchants and retailers.
Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to layer security -- according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction -- across diverse users and applications. The platform's authentication options include username and password, IP-geolocation, machine/device, questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid cards and a range of low priced one-time-passcode tokens. Entrust IdentityGuard also provides multiple methods of supporting mutual authentication, including picture and caption replay.
Entrust IdentityGuard minimizes operational challenges such as burdens to help desks and infrastructure maintenance. It includes a complete Web-based administration capability for user and policy management, enabling organizations to easily distribute administrative tasks to the right individuals, all based on role.
