Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), an information security
leader specializing in authentication, software DRM and content
security, and Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing,
today announced a worldwide partnership. Wyse and Aladdin will
provide enterprises a secure and flexible solution combining Wyse
Thin Client roaming computing and Aladdin eToken strong
authentication for secure access to corporate resources from any
computer, safeguarding corporate information while increasing
productivity.
The joint solution can be viewed at the Aladdin and Wyse booths
during the Citrix Partner Summit event at the Walt Disney World
Dolphin and Swan Resort in Orlando, Florida on October 26th to
29th. Both Wyse thin clients and Aladdin eToken are Citrix Ready
Certified Solutions.
The Aladdin-Wyse solution allows users to securely access vital
corporate information and applications via the Wyse's thin client
virtual environment. Using Aladdin eToken certificate-based
smartcard authentication, Wyse Thin Client users are able to
securely connect to corporate resources from any computer,
increasing productivity while on the road and ensuring
organizations' security standards. The solution enables users to
simply verify their identity with their eToken device, and to
launch their individual desktop profile at the same point at which
they ended the previous session, enabling the user to resume work
immediately even if they log in from a different workstation.
By combining roaming desktop capabilities with smartcard-based
login, organizations are able to prevent unauthorized access to
secured networks by eliminating walk-by security breaches. Aladdin
eToken allows companies to more easily comply with regulations that
require two-factor authentication to protect sensitive data, such
as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, and many others.
"We've seen tremendous growth in the thin client market and
anticipate much more as corporations increasingly turn to thin
computing to reduce costs and enhance security for mobile computing
by combining strong authentication with virtual desktop
technology," said Ricardo Antuna, VP of Business Development &
Product Management at Wyse Technology. "The inherent security of
Wyse thin clients combined with Aladdin's eToken provides highly
secure means for accessing virtual desktop environments, enabling
organizations to reduce cost, prevent data loss and increase
employee effectiveness. This is achieved by enabling them to
securely connect to corporate resources and applications from any
computer."
"Secure network access and strong authentication is a growing
concern among organizations in order to maintain a secure
environment, comply with regulations and prevent data loss," said
Phil Pavay, vice president of global business development at
Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "The combined solution from Wyse and
Aladdin provides end users with an easy-to-use solution that
combines true mobility with the most robust security."
Aladdin and Wyse will collaborate on a worldwide basis to
promote the joint solution, enabling secure multi-session support,
increasing user productivity by enabling fully functional
application interfaces and improving security compliance by
leveraging two-factor authentication technology. Channel partners
and resellers will add value to their customers by offering a
scalable and flexible solution to address customers' needs to
reduce operational costs while improving security measures.
