As a Level 1 PCI-compliant service provider we needed a solution that not only met the stringent security standards detailed in the PCI DSS, but also was cost-effective and easy-to-use. SecureAuth exceeded these requirements, resulting in an expedited deployment and highly positive customer experience.

Automated Authentication

How SecureAuth performs what was previously impossible using X.509 certificates

As enterprises move their applications to the Web and mobile platforms, providing strong  security for those applications becomes more critical. An enterprise must gauge an array of  factors prior to implementing a solution that it deems viable and secure. Chief among these  factors are strong security, ease-of-use for end-users, deployable technology, maintenance and  cost. 

Traditionally, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has been regarded as the strongest form of  authentication. However, PKI’s promise has never stretched beyond government agencies and  organizations that can boast the infinite budgets and resources needed to manage PKI. PKI  technology has been stagnant because of the fact that it is; complex to deploy, cost-prohibitive,  difficult to manage and use. Also, key elements of its technology (specifically usability and  interoperability) have not evolved along with modern applications and the Internet. For these  reasons, PKI has failed to be widely adopted by most enterprises. 

MultiFactor Corporation’s SecureAuth distinguishes itself from PKI by delivering X.509 v3  technology that is not only more secure than traditional PKI, but infinitely more feasible.  SecureAuth is a solution founded on the principle of providing strong, 2-factor authentication  that is affordable, easy for end-users to use, and easy for administrators to deploy and  maintain.
