TriCipher Press Releases
Security & Compliance Experts Validate TriCipher's myOneLogin Service
Neohapsis validates security, performance of secure single sign-on service
LOS GATOS, Calif. (July 23, 2009) — TriCipher, a leading provider of strong authentication solutions to protect against fraud and identity theft, today announced that its myOneLogin service has been validated by Neohapsis, experts in governance, risk and compliance. Neohapsis conducted a detailed evaluation of the Web single sign-on service, validating overall security practices as well as performance and administrative usability.
Compliance frameworks like PCI-DSS and FFIEC require companies to demonstrate reasonable security measures for access to regulated or material data. myOneLogin Secure Single Sign-On helps companies meet these requirements by strengthening, managing and auditing access to Web-based applications. This on-demand Web SSO solution combines multi-factor authentication and standards-based identity federation, and offers significant protection from phishing and account theft or misuse. It also helps businesses manage and track their use of Web applications, including SaaS business applications like Salesforce and Google Apps.
The independent Neohapsis testing confirmed the following claims:
- Phishing protection: myOneLogin uses best practices for phishing protection and confirmed resilience to Cross Site Request Forgery attacks.
- Quick deprovisioning: Administrators can deprovision users in four steps/clicks – removing application access quickly and easily when someone leaves.
- Fast user upload: Administrators can upload on average 2.4 users per second, in testing of uploads of up 1000 users.
- Quick authentication: myOneLogin authenticated users with Web applications in less than a second in the Neohapsis test environment.
- Federation in minutes: Neohapsis was able to reconfigure existing Web applications to support SAML-based authentication using the myOneLogin service in just over 30 minutes.
"Our testing found that the myOneLogin service met or exceeded TriCipher's claims for performance and usability," said Greg Shipley, CTO at Neohapsis. "In particular, thorough testing of the authentication, password reset, and registration processes confirmed that TriCipher is deploying best practices to defend users from phishing attacks."
"We turned to Neohapsis because of its depth of security and compliance expertise," said Kyle Austin, VP Engineering at TriCipher. "Our customers want to know that they can trust in TriCipher's technologies and expertise as part of their overall security and compliance objectives; this independent validation helps confirm that trust."
