Gemalto and IBM to offer enhanced eBanking Security Platform
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
As per the latest announcement made by Gemalto(Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the company has signed a global business partnership with IBM(NYSE:IBM) for its enhanced Ezio eBanking security platform. Featuring security and versatility, the Ezio eBanking Server platform has been further updated with the ability to support a wider range of end-user solutions. The platform has been tested and confirmed to work with more than 30 authentication devices from 20 different vendors, ranging from physical tokens to mobile applications. It has been made available worldwide, directly from Gemalto and also through IBM Security Services.
The Ezio eBanking Server is the first to be compliant with both the leading proprietary technologies and the industry’s most popular open standards - supporting all types of two-factor authentication tokens, including OTP, PKI, OATH and software solutions. For banks, the platform’s seamless interoperability across authentication infrastructures presents new opportunities within areas such as customer segmentation, multi-channel strategy, as well as a wider choice of form-factors and use-cases – regardless of legacy systems and investments. The Ezio eBanking Server comes in two versions: one off-the-shelf appliance and one software toolkit which will bring increased flexibility to a bank’s existing back-end authentication architecture.
Our ability to deliver innovative authentication solutions is of critical importance to our clients, particularly those in the banking industry. Making this new offering available as part of the IBM Total Authentication Solution will enable both IBM and Gemalto to address that growing demand with an even more comprehensive and flexible authentication capability, said Kris Lovejoy, General Manager, IBM Security Services.
We believe more choices enhance the user experience that an eBanking service can offer, and we are fully committed to providing user-friendly and open authentication solutions that support our customers’ current and future choices and one that grows with them as their eBanking needs evolve, commented Hakan Nordfjell, Senior Vice-President of eBanking, Gemalto.
Pairing the Ezio eBanking Server with IBM Security Services gives organizations a next-generation, authentication solution backed by industry-leading consulting, design and implementation services.
