(WebHosting.Info)   Comodo, a provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, today announced that it has extended its Two Factor Authentication solution so that now it supports Microsoft’s Outlook Web Access and SharePoint server applications, two of the most widely used email and collaboration platforms on the market today. The company claims that Two Factor is a PKI based solution that uses digital certificates, with its easy deployment and cost effective structure, as a strong form of authentication. It also says that user adoption is seamless because once the digital certificate is installed; the user does not need to add any authentication steps to their current login processes.

The company further articulates that Two Factor Authentication is a security solution that delivers benefits to business customers, requiring an enhanced level of user authentication and protection for sensitive online information. In additional to digital certificate authentication, Two Factor can also serve single use passwords delivered via SMS messaging, voice message, and/or personal security questions. This flexibility provides maximum policy compliance, security and an ease of use requiring little to no end-user or administrator intervention.

“The continuing need to authenticate online users is a critical business function,” said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. “Our goal with Two Factor was to create a solution that has the highest level of secure authentication yet is easy for consumers and businesses. Now that Comodo’s Two Factor supports Outlook and SharePoint, millions of users can benefit from this strong form of authentication.”
