PortWise has announced the worldwide availability of PortWise 4.7, a new open authentication platform and transaction gateway focused on web service transactions and extended support for secure cloud computing. "With PortWise 4.7 we further extend our versatile authentication platform with a vast number of additional authentication methods. We are seeing a continuously growing demand for open and scalable solutions that are mobile and most importantly are cost effective," says Per Hägerö, CTO at PortWise. PortWise 4.7 is fully compliant with the standards developed by Open Authentication consortium and includes a new product component, the transaction gateway, which enables the use of PortWise in high volume transactions scenarios such as payment systems, healthcare transactions and other B2B solutions. On the application access side, PortWise 4.7 delivers some unique features with the data recording (enables capture of all data sent in a secure channel), SSO for Telnet and SSH and contextual session control. "Customers need a secure application access platform that can integrate cloud application along with applications that are already on the enterprise network. The industry is now changing from perimeter defense to application security and the PortWise solution has all the key features that are needed to make this transition rapidly and without any disruption for the end user", says Per Hägerö. As the adoption of cloud computing becomes more common, security solutions will need to embrace cloud computing as well. PortWise already with previously releases supported basic technologies but with Portwise 4.7 this is now extended to make sure PortWise customers can deploy cloud computing with the best security practices.
