Tata Communications launches managed two-factor authentication service

Claims to help enterprises secure their networks

Tata Communications has expanded its managed security services (MSS) portfolio with the launch of new two-factor authentication service, which it claims to help enterprises to secure their networks and comply with security-specific certifications and regulations.

The company claims that the new service helps to address the security and database breaches by providing a suite that gives organisations secure access to internal networks and infrastructure and prevents unauthorised access within and outside an organisation.

According to Tata Communications, the new service authenticates users before they are granted access to their organisation's applications, data, services and network devices. Users enter a PIN and a six digit one-time passcode displayed on a software or hardware tokens.

Tata Communications has entered into partnership with RSA, a security division of EMC, to help power the managed two-factor authentication offering.

Tata Communications also handles all the details and time-consuming tasks related to token life-cycle management. In addition, staffing, administrative and logistics overhead, user management, and personnel requirements are reduced.

John Landau, senior vice president of global managed services for Tata Communications, said: “Our software token technology and managed authentication service offer a compelling price advantage for mass deployment through mobile devices that can enable service providers and enterprises to quickly establish and maintain large-scale, trusted infrastructures.

“With more managed and secure end points, the volume of B2B and B2C communications will increase and this will help improve operational efficiency and streamline e-business transactions.
