This week, FireID launched the first official public beta of its new range of SaaS authentication services for the cloud. This is an innovative new approach to providing widespread, seamless and easy 2-factor authentication for users of common web applications that reside on the cloud, something that is increasingly coming under focus in recent times.
No special software or hardware is required, just a few clicks and a bit of configuration within the web application to connect it with Cloud Services, and administrators can then start provisioning FireID mobile authentication tokens to their users’ mobile phones via their web browser. Simple, easy and effective.
This project is the first to emerge out of FireID’s highly agile and productive new Skunkworks, aimed at rapidly prototyping and then polishing new commercialisable products to build on the core technologies that FireID has now built up serious competence in. Classic startup innovation at its best!
The first public beta to launch under the Cloud Services portfolio is for SalesForce.com, with Google Apps support anticipated to be released next.
