Entrust, Passlogix and HP Selected by Czech Telecom for Secure Identity Management Solution

Industry Leading Enterprise Single-Sign-On Capability Secures and Streamlines Desktop Access

Market-leader Czech Telecom, has been securing its communications and data with Entrust solutions since 1998. Purchasing its solution through Entrust reseller partner Hewlett-Packard, the firm was able to quickly add Enterprise SSO to its environment.

"The addition of the Enterprise SSO component of the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution is delivering a tangible return on investment for us," said Mr. Kamil Kubát, Director of IT infrastructure, Czech Telecom. "We can now easily deploy a solution that provides our end-users with a fast, simple, secure and reliable way to log-on to all applications, while mitigating the security risk of written passwords and minimizing expensive password resets."

Entrust recently increased its commitment to addressing identity and access management needs for global enterprises and governments by reselling market-leading Passlogix v-GO SSO. With the addition of Passlogix, the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution addresses the need for a simplified user log-in experience on the desktop that ultimately reduces help desk costs and enhances the security of password management. The move enables Entrust to now provide customers with a complete 'best-of-breed' secure identity management solution that extends across client-server, Web, and Web services environments.

"V-GO SSO simplifies and secures network and application access for companies such as Czech Telecom," said Marc Boroditsky, president and CEO, Passlogix. "As the proven market-leader in the field of Enterprise SSO, we are pleased that our solution is extending the success that Czech Telecom has had with Entrust identity and access management solutions."

"Enterprise Single-Sign-On is now a key ingredient of the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution, delivering streamlined, secure access for employees to enterprise applications," said Chris Voice, vice-president, Identity Management, Entrust. "Customers like Czech Telecom are now able to purchase and benefit from enterprise SSO as part of a complete range of best in class, interoperable secure identity management capabilities from a single trusted vendor."

As a part of the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution, the Passlogix technology provides users with a single secure authentication point for virtually all Windows®, Web, proprietary and host-based applications without requiring any complex application integration. It supports a broad range of authentication methods, including Entrust digital IDs, Entrust USB tokens, and smart cards, and is seamlessly integrated with the other components of the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution.
