Tata Communications has entered into a partnership with data protection company SafeNet to offer cloud-based multi-factor authentication services.
The cloud-based delivery model enables businesses to implement an additional security layer that verifies the legitimacy of a transaction and secures access to corporate networks.
The rise of trends such as bring-your-own-device, increased use of cloud-based services and network-based application deployment make added user authentication measures vital. This is especially so for industries such as e-commerce and banking.
Tata Communications’ cloud-based multi-factor authentication offers both hard and soft token authentication, creating a layered defence system, which makes it more difficult for unauthorised personnel to access a computer system or network, it said in a statement.
Srinivasan CR, Vice President, Global Product Management, Data Centre Services, Tata Communications, said: "Identity and access management are anchors for security. However, traditional multi-factor authentication services require on-premise hardware investment, maintenance and the right skills for management, which together act as a deterrent for deployment."
