Digital security solutions provider CRYPTOCard locks up a key deal with PC colossus Dell Inc., which will bundle the Ottawa company’s new two-factor authentication technology, BlackShield ID Small Business Edition, with products for small- and medium-sized businesses sold across Canada. “Our agreement with Dell represents an emerging shift in IT security for companies that serve the SMB market. Two-factor authentication has typically been available only to large enterprises. Hackers know this and are starting to target small to medium-sized businesses,” says CRYPTOCard CEO Neil Hollister. CRYTOCard’s technology enhances security through one-time-use digital passwords, eliminating vulnerable ‘static’ computer passwords.
