MultiFactor, a provider of two-factor authentication, Web application security and secure cloud authentication solutions, reportedly announced that salesforce.com has tested and certified its SecureAuth.

 

SecureAuth, a plug-n-play authentication mechanism, is designed to utilize the flexibility and infinite scalability of internet architecture to abstract authentication from any application or network resource and pass back to the resource a trusted User ID. Its design allows single sign on while transparently enforcing two-factor authentication into internally-hosted applications, as well as SaaS (News - Alert) applications like Salesforce CRM and GoogleApps.

 

In addition, the SecureAuth solution leverages a secure authentication to both legacy onsite and cloud-based applications without forcing the enterprise to migrate or synchronize their existing user credential stores. It directly accesses an existing native directory, including Microsoft's (News - Alert) Active Directory.

 

An enterprise can now migrate to cloud computing with a single or multiple applications at a time while leveraging their existing IT infrastructure and retaining full control of their users' identities, said the company.

 

"The ability to enforce a bilateral authentication throughout the SSO process across network, cloud, and Web applications is unique in the industry," said MultiFactor's CTO Garret Grajek, in a statement.

 

According to Multifactor, Salesforce is an excellent platform for building a scalable and reliable application for enterprise. It is built on an infrastructure with plenty of resources, allows for customization and flexibility, and provides security for the data that is stored within its cloud.

 

The enterprise-grade strong authentication will be soon made available on salesforce.com's AppExchange marketplace, the company said.
