Cost-Effective PKI, Access Control, and Smart Card Based Systems
SAN FRANCISCO, RSA(R) CONFERENCE, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Securify, Inc.,
a leading provider of security technologies and services for connected
businesses, today introduced its new Access Management Services that will make
it easier and less costly for financial, healthcare and Fortune 1000
enterprises to protect their applications and information from unauthorized
individuals. Through its suite of Securify Access Management Services, the
company's security and application experts can help organizations break the
cost and complexity barriers to achieving fast deployment of effective access
management solutions.
Securify Access Management Services help companies choose among the myriad
of security technologies and point products, including Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI), access control, and smart card products, to achieve the
best access management solution to meet their business requirements. Working
with a wide range of partners, Securify consultants apply their in-depth
knowledge of PKI, smart card and access management vendors, technologies and
products to act as vendor-neutral, trusted advisors. Securify provides
support over the entire life cycle of deployment, serving as advocates on
behalf of customers throughout the entire implementation process. Securify's
team provides the qualified expertise and resources necessary to plan,
evaluate, design, implement and maintain an entire solution.
"As organizations open their networks to employees, partners, suppliers
and customers, they face significant challenges in implementing solutions to
control access and protect privacy," said Taher Elgamal, president and CEO of
Securify. "With Securify's Access Management Services, we are breaking the
barriers to authentication and access management deployment, offering expert,
vendor-neutral planning and implementation services with the option of
fixed-time, fixed-cost pricing."
Implementing access management solutions today is still a complex, costly
and time and resource consuming process. But as businesses open their
networks to outsiders and embrace multi-tiered, multi-party, highly sensitive
electronic transactions, and as privacy protection laws are enacted, more and
more organizations are turning towards public key infrastructure, access
control, and smart card technologies as the best ways to achieve the higher
assurance they require for these transactions. Securify Access Management
Services help financial institutions, healthcare and pharmaceutical businesses
and other Fortune 1000 enterprises implement new access management solutions
they need to meet these business requirements.
Securify's team of technology and business consultants are already helping
companies successfully create safe e-business environments. Securify is
working closely with Visa U.S.A. and its Member financial institutions to
manage the rollout of its next generation smart Visa "Access" infrastructure
platform. smart Visa is Visa U.S.A.'s smart card platform. Securify
developed the system architecture for smart Visa Access and provided
comprehensive project management to deploy the reference implementation.
Securify maintains ongoing product and reference lab management roles.
"Securify played the lead role in planning, designing, deploying and
managing our smart Visa Access infrastructure, providing the access management
integration services and security expertise we needed to develop a
cost-effective and secure system for our card issuers," said Patrick Gauthier,
senior vice president, smart Card Applications, Visa U.S.A. "We depend on
Securify to provide ongoing product qualification testing and reviews, track
enhancement and maintenance upgrades, and smart Visa Access services to Member
financial institutions."
