PRESS RELEASE
PALO ALTO, Calif. and STOCKHOLM, Feb. 6, 2012 – Easy and cost-efficient two-factor authentication for Single Sign-On is now made available by a partnership between Yubico, the leading provider of simple, open online identity protection, and SSO Easy, provider of SAML server solutions.
Strong two-factor authentication is vital for securing access to SAML-based single sign-on servers and mission-critical application with sensitive information. To provide a high level of security to their clients, SSO Easy chose Yubico’s YubiKey, a small driverless USB-token that simplifies the process of logging in with a One-Time Password (OTP).
“We scanned the marketplace for all potential complementary strong authentication solutions, and we then conducted a thorough evaluation of those vendors,” said John Dougherty, senior vice president, SSO Easy. “We selected the YubiKey because it provides a high level of security, while enabling a seamless user experience. The solution is extremely cost-effective and Yubico has proven to be extremely easy to work with.”
SSO Easy has integrated YubiKey support in EasyConnect. This Single Sign-On server product makes SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 project implementations easier, faster, and more cost effective. The integrated YubiKey-SSO Easy solution provides a solution that is easy and cost-effective enough for small organizations, and robust and scalable enough to meet enterprise client needs.
“The ultimate vision for Yubico is to enable a single and easy-to-use strong identity to access an unlimited number of applications. However, in general, the high cost and complexity of traditional two-factor authentication technologies and enterprise class SAML servers have limited the adoption. Yubico is very pleased to partner with SSO Easy to make single sign-on, secure easy and affordable for the vast range of organizations,” said Stina Ehrensvard, CEO and Founder, Yubico.
The joint YubiKey and SSO Easy solution works out-of-the-box, leveraging existing APIs. Free trials of the complete, integrated solution are available through SSO Easy. Free Trials are typically completed in about one hour.
