Good Technology launches secure email solution for iOS devices with Precise Biometrics Tactivo

Good Technology has launched its Good Vault app, to be used with Precise Biometrics’ Tactivo Smart Card & Fingerprint Reader for iOS devices.

Good Vault extends strong two-factor authentication for secured email and encryption. The Tactivo Smart Card & Fingerprint Reader is part of the Good Vault solution, which is the first product built on the newly-introduced Good Trust mobile identity and access management platform. Good Vault extends strong two-factor authentication and security to Good’s award-winning Good for Enterprise email application.

This new solution was unveiled at the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit, which took place Dec. 3-5, 2012 in Las Vegas.

“As one of the leading providers of secure email, Good understands the requirements and needs of users, from the technology behind the best solutions to how to make it easy and convenient,” Thomas Marschall, president & CEO of Precise Biometrics said. “Good’s choice of Tactivo for smart card authentication to Good Vault underscores the many possibilities of Tactivo. Its user-centric design combined with its integration capabilities for virtually any iOS app make is the clear choice for industry leaders like Good.”

As reported previously in BiometricUpdate.com, the Tactivo Smart Card Reader is the first product in the market to have a combined fingerprint and smart card reader, playing into recent ‘bring your own device’ trends in the workplace, as well as the increased prevalence of a mobile workplace.

Good Technology is not the first company to leverage the biometric capacity of the Tactivo Smart Card Reader. In October, Security software provider Intercede launched its MyID CardChecker app, designed for government agencies and enterprises to display electronic information from smart cards.
