Celo v2.0 Launched to offer greated end user flexibility
Following the successful launch earlier this year of Celo – a cost-effective two-factor authentication (2FA)* solution for securing online information – Carlisle-based Commerce Media has released an enhanced version which provides additional functionality
..including the ability to authenticate individuals accessing non web-based systems, and customised delivery of the solution to meet unique user requirements.
Celo v2.0 is now supplied with RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server, enabling strong authentication in non web-based networks such as those used by remote workers. The capability to install both RADIUS and the internet communication protocol SOAP simultaneously, allows implementers of Celo to protect both online and offline systems.
The enhanced 2FA solution also has the ability to be ‘clustered’ facilitating faster performance, and as it can be efficiently connected to multiple servers to retrieve different data sources, Celo v2.0 can also support load balancing technology.
Alongside this functionality, Celo v2.0 aims to offer greater flexibility in how one-time-passwords (OTPs) are delivered at the authentication stage, and can now issue passwords by real-time communication protocol ‘XMPP’.
Individual users can select their preferred delivery method independently from the rest of the user base depending on their situation at the time of accessing the network. For example, if no mobile signal is available a user can request their OTP via email.
Time has also been spent on updating and revising the administration aspect of Celo v2.0 to assist in the creation of more advanced and user-friendly reporting documentation, and IT departments are now able to tailor what information is captured, for example log-in patterns, new users or track OTP delivery channels. This data can be produced in a familiar Excel format via ‘.csv’ files, allowing it to be integrated into other reports if required.
Michael Robertson, Managing Director of Commerce Media, said: “We will continue to develop Celo in line with the increasing sophistication of online security threats, while also ensuring it is simple to implement and use.
Our cost-effective 2FA solution accommodates up to 1 million unique users, and we identify that flexibility and convenience is key if organisations are to engage their audience, ensure adoption of the solution and benefit from securing information access.
“To support the enhanced capability, the team has created an extensive installation library that offers instruction on how the technology can be integrated into an array of applications and existing IT infrastructures, and has reduced installation time to just 30 minutes. We believe that Celo v2.0 demonstrates that the benefits of 2FA can be enjoyed by both the public and private sector without complication or incurring excessive costs.”
