Datacard & Datakey For Secure Enterprise Authentication
Datakey and Datacard announced that they have signed a reseller agreement, enabling Datacard to integrate and sell Datakey Model 330 cryptographic smart cards, CIP client software and Datakey smart card readers as part of its secure authentication solution for enterprise ID.
The smart card technology developed by Datakey was a natural fit for Datacard enterprise security solutions. Datakey cryptographic smart cards and client software are well established in the industry and trusted by a growing list of enterprise customers for secure access to enterprise networks, applications and corporate facilities. They are also used to protect the integrity and privacy of data shared over enterprise networks and the Internet.
Datacard chose Datakey cards, software and readers because the technology strictly adheres to industry standards and delivers a high level of security, demonstrated through certifications it has achieved such as FIPS 140-1 Level 2. Just as important, Datacard selected Datakey because its technology consistently works 'right out of the box' with a wide range of information security products and applications.
"Our enterprise security solutions allow large enterprises to efficiently manage and secure enterprise resources and facility access," said Martin Kearsley, Senior VP and GM of Datacard’s solutions division. "The Datakey components we have selected are critical elements of this solution. The quality, reliability and performance of their cryptographic cards, client software and card readers are outstanding."
Tim Russell, VP and GM, Datakey, said, "Datacard’s solutions, which benefit from the advanced security and interoperability of Datakey smart cards and CIP client software, represent a comprehensive package that give enterprises a single corporate ID badge for access to facilities as well as for access to their PCs and network resources. The selection of Datakey smart cards and client software further demonstrates the high level of trust that our partners place in Datakey technology."
In addition to Datacard, companies such as Rainbow Technologies (Rainbow iKey 2032), SafeNet (SafeNet Smart VPN) and SWIFT (SWIFTAlliance WebStation) rely on the strength of Datakey’s smart card technology and have integrated it as central components of their own product lines.
