To effectively mitigate risk, enable true efficiency and satisfy customers in the mobile environment, organizations must properly secure mobile devices and identities — but in a way that minimizes user barrier and frustrations. Once secured, organizations then have the opportunity to leverage mobile devices to actually improve security in other parts of the business.

This two-pronged approach — first secure the device, then leverage it to improve security — is an effective method to reduce business risk and introduce new, innovative transactional services that improve the user experience for customers and employees.

Digital certificates may be provisioned and managed through a variety of methods. By issuing and managing digital certificates via Entrust’s cloud-based services, organizations reduce costs, streamline deployment and ease burdens on IT support staff.

Organizations may seamlessly provision and manage digital certificates and identities — for both users and devices. This approach reduces costs, increases efficiency and simplifies setup and deployment.

Digital certificates are transparently delivered to users or mobile devices through the Entrust IdentityGuard Cloud Services platform, removing the complexity of deploying and managing an on-premise PKI/certification authority (CA).

By leveraging a software-based platform approach, organizations can consolidate all authentication processes with a single, proven solution — Entrust IdentityGuard.

Whether it’s a smartcard or mobile smart credential for physical/logical access, or a unique grid card for strong authentication to a VPN, Entrust IdentityGuard is one of the most versatile authentication platforms available. It allows organizations to deploy the right authenticator to different user groups based on the amount of associated risk, access requirements, unique user needs and cost.
