SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA CONFERENCE BOOTH #107 -
PortWise, the leading secure remote application access platform provider,
today announced the availability of a total cost of ownership analysis showing
it leads with a 40 percent savings over a typical hardware token
implementation in sample 1,000-user and 7,500-user examples. The TCO analysis
compares PortWise to strong authentication requiring hardware tokens from
leading vendors such as RSA Security and Secure Computing.
"Our TCO analysis is a bit controversial because it exposes some of the
limitations of hardware tokens," said Jonathan Martin, chief marketing
officer, PortWise. "A lot of companies are spending their security budgets
procuring and maintaining hardware tokens their users find cumbersome, or are
prone to lose. For an increasingly mobile workforce, the cell phone enabled
with text messaging offers a cost-effective alternative to proprietary tokens.
In the case of the analysis, the 40 percent savings baseline grows further if
you consider the hard costs of supporting a mobile workforce and leagues of
partners needing secure access to applications in the enterprise."
According to the PortWise TCO analysis, which is available for download on
http://www.portwise.com, a company with 1,000 users spends on average 40
percent more with hardware tokens than with the PortWise solution, which takes
advantage of mobile phones and text messaging to provide a second factor of
strong authentication.
PortWise helps ensure the protection of the information-driven enterprise,
by allowing the right people secure access to the resources and applications
they need, based on their user profile and authentication credentials. The
PortWise Secure Application Access Platform supports all major browsers and
mobile phone operating systems, with an optional client that can be managed
from within standard directories such as Windows Active Directory, Novell
eDirectory and Sun Java Directory Server, reducing end-user support overhead.
