New cloud suite aims to eliminate passwords
Passwords are old technology and were never really designed to protect public access to sensitive information like bank and healthcare details. Yet despite the introduction of new technologies like two-factor authentication, biometric recognition and others, the password continues to cling on.
Identity and authentication platform Trusona wants to hasten the death of the password with the introduction of its Cloud Identity Suite, offering three tiers of identity-proofing and authentication, and making the basic level available for free.
"A technology invented more than fifty years ago is not built to handle the modern cyber attack landscape. Trusona is proud to lead the no passwords revolution by offering Essential as our free gift to the world. Our goal is to ultimately make the internet a safer place," says Ori Eisen, founder and CEO of Trusona. "Static authentication methods are inherently flawed. The way we use the internet is dynamic and our authentication methods need to be too. Our tiered Cloud Identity Suite caters to all levels and bridges the gap between convenience and security".
The Trusona solutions rely on patented anti-replay technologies to ensure hackers are unable to replay session data. Trusona Essential is completely free and eliminates the need for static passwords. A simple verification through Trusona's app (currently iOS only with Android due in November) allows users to log into any site. Trusona Executive is a multi-factor authentication solution designed for businesses needing an additional layer of security and anti-replay technology to ensure risky transactions and corporate networks are protected. Trusona Elite is the only authentication solution that is backed by an A+ rated insurer and is designed for VIPs and critical access which needs the highest level of security.
