FREMONT, Calif. – May 24, 2010 – ActivIdentity Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTI), a global leader in strong authentication and credential management, today announced the launch of an innovative new appliance-based version of its ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ Authentication Server. The product is targeted at small- and mid-sized banks and other financial services organizations with a need for a range of authentication methods as well as strong audit logging across multiple service channels.

“The combination of ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server software and the convenience of the appliance form factor enables financial services organizations to launch a highly secure Internet banking site or fortify an existing online presence in a shorter period of time, at a reduced total cost of ownership,” said Jerome Becquart, Vice President of products and services at ActivIdentity. “Leveraging the appliance, organizations can abide by compliance mandates and grow customer confidence in the security of self-service channels such as Internet, mobile banking, or automated phone systems.”
