Passlogix Earns Innovator Honors from SC Magazine; v-GO's Credential Management Cited for Second Year
Magazine Also Praises New v-GO SAM for Privileged Password Management
Jan 13, 2009 — New York, NY;
Passlogix®, Inc., today announced that its has been recognized by SC Magazine as the most innovative information security vendor in the credential management space for the second consecutive year, citing its the flagship v-GO(r) Accessv-GO® Access Accelerator Suite as an example of its vision and innovation. The citation in the magazine’s list of “‘Innovators for 2008”,’ list published this month, praises Passlogix’s convergence of single sign-on, strong authentication enablement and provisioning deployment support in a single platform.
In the same issue, the magazine’s editors called the new v-GO Shared Accounts Manager (v-GO SAM) – which is integrated into the platform – a “‘flash of brilliance”’ for its approach to managing shared credentials. The review cites v-GO SAM’s password check-out-check-in capabilities from a central repository of shared IDsids, de-provisioning and auditing powers, ease of implementation, and overall ability to “‘solve one of security administrators’ biggest headaches”’ by providing secure system and application access for administrators, temporary workers, and others who must share account IDs.
