Canberra, 8 June 2004 – Protocom Development Systems, a global leader in password management solutions, today announced that Protocom SecureLogin® Single Sign-On has received a five-star product rating from UK based SC Magazine (
www.scmagazine.com).
The product review, which evaluated the features, ease of use, performance, documentation and support, and value for money concluded that SecureLogin Single Sign-On is “a comprehensive and well-considered approach to a perennial problem”.
“All in all Protocom seems to have most bases covered, and this, of course, is exactly what you want to know if you are a busy systems administrator charged with investigating a single sign-on approach within a large corporation”, said SC Magazine Reviewer Julian Ashbourn.
In particular, the review highlighted the ability of SecureLogin Single Sign-On to integrate with multiple platforms, including a range of Unix and Windows platforms as well as Active Directory, eDirectory and other LDAP compliant directories, as one of its most compelling features.
“Simply keeping track of [complex IT networks] is hard enough, let alone implementing a coherent single sign-on solution across it. Protocom understands this reality and this product is compatible with a broad range of Unix and Windows platforms”, said Mr Ashbourn.
“The SC Magazine review once again demonstrates that SecureLogin Single Sign On solves real password management issues for enterprises worldwide”, said Protocom Chief Technology Officer Mick Smith. “Protocom continues to address crucial security concerns faced by business today, reinforcing why SecureLogin is the global market leader.”
