BEDFORD, N.H., Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As a pioneer in Authentication, PistolStar, Inc.'s goal is to ensure its flagship product, PortalGuard, has the most up to date integrations available. PistolStar, Inc. is committed to being on the cutting edge of trends and guidelines in the authentication management industry and is excited to announce several Multi-Factor Authentication vendor integrations now available within the PortalGuard product. Vendor integrations now supported by PortalGuard include: Duo Security, FIDO, Google, RSA SecurID, VoiceIt, and Yubico.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) combines something you know, such as a password, with something you have or something you are, like a hardware token or voice print. Using this method allows an end-user to securely and safely access their accounts and minimizes the threat of a cyber-attack. Joining the list of MFA options that PortalGuard supports are several hardware tokens and biometric alternatives that all add an extra layer of security for the user.

"We're excited to expand the options available in PortalGuard to include the latest biometric and hardware-based tokens, further establishing PortalGuard as a true integration nexus for use by organizations of all sizes." - Gregg Browinski, CTO at PistolStar, Inc.

Integrations with PortalGuard

PortalGuard now supports integration with Smart Cards. Used extensively by the military and federal government, PIV (aka CAC) cards utilize a cryptographic chip which contains a public/private keypair. The Smart Card is protected by a pin that releases the user's identity to PortalGuard via a HTTPS negotiation leveraging standard Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

The FIDO standard introduced by the FIDO Alliance boasts founding members such as Google and Yubico. PortalGuard supports this cost-effective hardware token whether it be the Titan Security Key by Google or Yubico's own Security Key which works with popular browsers, websites and services.

PortalGuard now offers support for a biometrics-based multi-factor option utilizing the service provider VoiceIt. They are a cloud-based biometrics service where you record different phrases during a one-time enrollment and can subsequently be prompted to repeat them later as a second factor proof of "something you are".

First appearing in v5.8, PortalGuard integrates with the popular Duo Push App for existing Duo customers. This is a true "out of band" authentication option that offers best of breed usability and security. After providing the standard username and password, a notification is sent to users' smartphone via the Duo App, where verifying is as simple as tapping an "approve" button. There is no need to receive or re-type any one-time codes.

Gregg Browinski, Chief Technology Officer at PistolStar, on the benefits of enhancing the PortalGuard list of MFA options: "Multi-Factor Authentication has become crucial to securing organization's critical assets. We're excited to expand the options available in PortalGuard to include the latest biometric and hardware-based tokens, further establishing PortalGuard as a true integration nexus for use by organizations of all sizes. By maintaining this flexibility, we ensure our customers can utilize the proper combination of multi-factor implementations across their environment."

These new integrations join PortalGuard's existing stable of MFA options which includes: Google Authenticator, HOTP HMAC tokens, Yubikey hardware tokens, RSA SecurID, the PortalGuard Mobile app, SMS OTP, Voice Call OTP, Email OTP, Help Desk Generated OTP, and printed codes.
