Encentuate Web Workplace Allows Secure and Easy Access

Encentuate Web Workplace allows secure and easy access to applications and information via web portals, extranets, and browsers anywhere, anytime

(Foster City, Calif., April 24, 2006 ) – Encentuate, Inc., a provider of enterprise access security solutions, today announced the release of Encentuate Web Workplace, a solution that simplifies, strengthens, and tracks access to information systems via web portals, extranets, and browsers. The solution also ensures that single sign-on, strong authentication, incremental security and compliance tracking are available consistently wherever a user gets on the network, providing secure and easy access anytime, anywhere to authorized users.

Encentuate Web Workplace expands Encentuate's vision to provide identity management at the enterprise end-points and complements the existing support for personal and shared workstations, Citrix, and Terminal Services. Web Workplace ensures that users need just one password and no installation of desktop software to access multiple information systems remotely from home offices and web cafés or through browsers on handheld devices like PDAs and other mobile devices. Optionally, access to Web Workplace can be secured by using one-time password (OTP) based authentication devices. Once access is granted, users automatically sign-on to web-enabled enterprise applications by clicking on the application links in Web Workplace.

Web Workplace also allows IT administrators to leverage the Encentuate IMS Server to centrally manage identities and access policies. One of the key benefits of Web Workplace is the ability to track and centrally report all access events to the IMS Server. IT can then develop comprehensive user-centric reports to audit access to information systems across enterprise end-points.

Kelly, CEO and President of Encentuate.
