BioPassword Extends Authentication Platform With Support for Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise

SEATTLE, WA — BioPassword, Inc., the leader in software-only strong authentication, today introduced enhancements to BioPassword® Enterprise Edition with expanded remote access integration for Citrix Access Gateway™ Enterprise. BioPassword Enterprise Edition is the industry’s first multi-factor authentication software platform that combines the three keys of identification for secure access to deliver accurate, ubiquitous verification from any keyboard. BioPassword authenticates users with keystroke biometrics (something users are), knowledge-based authentication (something users know) and one-time passwords (something users have – mobile devices).

By 2009, the global mobile workforce is expected to grow by more than 20% with 878 million people working remotely, according to a study by IDC. At the same time, the proliferation of identity theft continues to grow as nearly 250,000 complaints were filed last year alone, according to the Federal Trade Commission. As organizations across the globe struggle to meet the demands of securing remote access for their users, they are also tasked with ensuring workflow is not interrupted. The combination of Citrix Access Gateway and BioPassword’s authentication software offers enterprises a complete platform that ensures secure access to the corporate network with no change in user behavior.

BioPassword Enterprise Edition uses a simple, yet powerful, combination of the user’s standard logon credentials (user name and password), and applies keystroke biometrics (their unique typing rhythm) as a second authentication factor. In addition, BioPassword authenticates with one-time passwords (single use password delivered to your mobile device) or knowledge-based authentication (user selected questions and answers).

With this latest release, BioPassword is the only authentication software vendor to cover the complete Citrix product line with support for Citrix Presentation Server™, Citrix Password Manager™, and Citrix Access Gateway. BioPassword was among the first vendors to participate in the launch of Citrix Systems, Inc.’s Citrix Ready™, an initiative to help customers identify third-party solutions that add the greatest value in Citrix-driven environments.

“BioPassword’s expanded support for Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise Edition helps ensure organizations can easily and efficiently deliver their applications to users, no matter where they are,” said Klaus Oesterman, VP and GM for the Application Networking Group, Citrix Systems. “The integration of BioPassword’s unique software platform supports the fast growing adoption of the enterprise edition of Access Gateway and our ongoing commitment to providing customers with the most innovative and secure remote access capabilities on the market.”

“Our expanded partnership with Citrix is the result of a growing demand for effective, easy-to-use authentication for remote access,” said David Forsch, vice president of partner marketing at BioPassword. “As the leading provider of a biometric authentication software platform, BioPassword will continue to attract partnerships with industry leaders to provide the most complete solution for secure access on the market.”
