Mobile-first authentication and e-commerce enablement specialist Entersekt has joined the ForgeRock Trust Network as a principal technology partner, reports David Penn at Finovate.
ForgeRock provides identity and access management solutions to financial services, retail, healthcare and communications companies as well as to educational institutions and governments including Belgium, Canada, New Zealand and Norway.
“Entersekt will bring our customers powerful, proven authentication options that will add great vale to the exciting digital transformation projects they are embarking on with ForgeRock,” says Ben Goodman, VP of global strategy and innovation for ForgeRock.
Entersekt’s mobile app security, authentication and digital signing solutions integrate seamlessly into ForgeRock’s identity and access management platform, giving customers an easy way to secure individuals, connected devices and services, the two companies say.
“As Entersekt did with push-based authentication, so has ForgeRock reimagined identity and access management, rearchitecting it from the ground up,” states Entersekt’s CCO, Dewald Nolte.
Entersekt says its solutions can be applied to a variety of challenges including mobile app security, strong authentication, payments enabling, digital signing, biometric enablement and regulatory compliance. The company’s flagship products are Transakt, which provides one-touch, multi-factor authentication for digital banking and payments; Interakt, which enables push USSD, out-of-band communication for feature phones; and Connekt, for e-commerce enablement.
According to the vendor, it secures 150 million digital transactions every month in 45 countries, protecting tens of millions of end users.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Stellenbosch, NA, South Africa, the company includes RMI and Endeavor Catalyst among its investors. Schalk Nolte is CEO.
