“This digital security award is a validation that our customers have the utmost faith in our ability to protect their digital identities and data,” said Ernie Berger, president, Gemalto North America. Protiva is a digital security solution for enterprises, healthcare and financial institutions. Components of the solution include a family of smart-card based user authentication devices, a browser plug-in, an authentication and customer care server and a self-service user care portal. Protiva’s family of portable network access devices protect against key logging, shoulder surfing and password cracking, and also help guard against phishing attacks when connected to the network. Organizations can deploy Protiva for secure user authentication and then evolve to more comprehensive identity protection and network security solutions without being forced to abandon infrastructure investments or change end-user devices. “This customer trust honor is the greatest endorsement to the fact that Protiva is ahead of the curve when it comes to the best-of-the-best products that can provide the highest in digital security, and best meet customer security requirements,” said Rake Narang, managing editor of Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and a leading source on security-related products and technologies.
