Entrust IdentityGuard For Enterprise

Strong Authentication for the Enterprise

When an employee or partner accesses a corporate network through an extranet, remote access gateway (VPN) or Microsoft® Windows® desktop, they have effectively opened a door to the organization's most sensitive assets, intellectual property and customer data. The security of the network and desktops are only as strong as the authentication method implemented, highlighting the importance of executing this properly.

Efficient and non-invasive for end-users, Entrust IdentityGuard is an award-winning strong authentication solution that is affordable for wide-scale enterprise deployment. The platform, which offers one of the widest ranges of authenticators on the market, easily integrates with your existing environment and minimizes the impact of security on employees, customers and partners.
