Akamai Technologies, Daon to launch Mobile Authentication as a Service solution

Friday 19 April 2013 08:22 CET | News

Akamai Technologies, a Singapore-based provider of online dynamic transactions and enterprise applications, and Daon, a developer of identity authentication technology, have joined forces to introduce Mobile Authentication as a Service (MAaaS).

The solution is designed to provide cloud-based multi-factor authentication to increasingly mobile federal employees.

Delivered as a cloud-based application in conjunction with CGI Group, an IT services provider, to receive FedRAMP authorization - the new MAaaS solution can be used across a variety of mobile devices including smartphones, tablets and wirelessly connected laptops. By allowing federal agencies to maintain security control at the application level even if they do not manage the actual device, MAaaS can be used in conjunction with increasingly popular Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs.

The MAaaS solution is also designed to allow government agencies to incorporate existing Common Access Card (CAC) or Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card implementations into their mobile authentication strategies.
