Business Wire, May 10, 2005

LEXINGTON, Mass. -- In line with its mission to eliminate password security and management headaches across the enterprise, Imprivata, Inc., the ESSO appliance company(TM), today unveiled Imprivata OneSign 2.8, the next generation of the industry's leading enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) appliance. Imprivata OneSign 2.8 contains dramatically enhanced authentication capabilities, including support for smart cards, proximity cards and USB tokens. Now, organizations of all sizes can give all their users secure, seamless and convenient single sign-on to any application. Imprivata announced the new version of OneSign at Digital ID World Conference 2005 underway May 9-12 at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero in San Francisco, Calif.

Aladdin eToken is one of many new technology interoperability capabilities unveiled as part of OneSign 2.8. Imprivata also announced today that it has become an Aladdin eToken Solutions Partner, giving customers powerful, two-factor authentication for both local and remote users with a simple USB smartcard.

"The Aladdin eToken USB key enhances Imprivata OneSign Enterprise Single Sign-On solution with strong user authentication," said Leedor Agam, vice president of the Aladdin eToken Business Unit. "Aladdin is delighted to partner with Imprivata to offer customers the benefit and convenience of both simplified strong authentication and single sign-on."

Organizations are realizing the broad economic benefits of SSO to the point where they are now looking to add strong authentication components to their password management solutions especially for high-profile or sensitive users without straining their budget.

"With OneSign 2.8, we've responded to our customers by adding new authentication capabilities that further optimize customers' password management solutions in a way that's seamless from administration to user," said Patrick Morley, president and chief executive officer, Imprivata. "While Imprivata OneSign has always supported ID tokens and has integrated fingerprint biometric authorization and identification capability, with OneSign 2.8, we're enhancing our authentication offerings to provide customers with a broader choice - meeting specific needs based on organization size, industry, user type and budget."

Designed as a powerful and affordable solution for organizations that need to quickly and effectively solve growing password management and user access issues, Imprivata OneSign 2.8 is the only SSO solution on the market packaged as an appliance and the only built on patented Application Profile Generator (APG) technology, which removes the complexity of application coding from customers' security infrastructures.
