Secure Computing just announced
a new product,
SafeWord for Citrix MetaFrame. This is a hardware token-based two-factor
authentication product (similar to
SecurID from
RSA). However, SafeWord has a few cool things going for it, like (1) It
installs simply by modifying the AD Schema and with a client on the MetaFrame
servers--there's no need to run a dedicated server. (2) It only costs $100 per
user (starting at just 5 users!).
You can order to 2-user sample kit from them. I've just ordered this and
I'll post my review of their product when I get it. The bottom line here is that
it looks like Secure Computing is bringing two-factor authentication to the
masses. It will be interesting to see how Citrix supports this, since Citrix is
so entrenched with RSA.
