Citrix Enhances Security and Identity Management with Support for Tokens

PassGo Defender has been approved for compatibility with Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 31, 2004 -– Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager is an enterprise single sign-on solution that allows a user to authenticate once with a single password to gain access to a wide variety of password-protected information systems and applications, whether they are running in a Citrix environment or not. Multi-factor authentication adds a significant layer of security to MetaFrame Password Manager by requiring the use of an electronic token to gain access to an application or information resource. This enhanced authentication method enables companies to provide greater security for sensitive information such as financial data or patient records, which is increasingly critical to meeting the security and privacy requirements of regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the US Patriot Act.

“PassGo Technologies is very pleased to have achieved a greater level of integration with Citrix’s products” said Ed Blunt, VP Sales and Customer Services at PassGo. “By integrating Defender with MetaFrame Password Access Manager, the level of security required to access sensitive corporate information is greatly increased”.
