REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 14, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Authernative, Inc., a leading developer of user authentication technologies for enterprises and governments, today announced that it has joined the McAfee® Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) partner program.

SIA is built around jointly integrated solutions that help maximize the value of existing customer investments, while reducing implementation time and costs.

Authernative provides innovative user authentication solutions enabling secure mobile, online, and cloud access. Authernative’s AuthGuard® versatile authentication server offers a range of multi-factor authentication options based on random partial shared-secret recognition patented technologies.

As a McAfee SIA partner, Authernative will integrate its AuthGuard® server auditing services that accompany its world class authentication with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software, an enterprise-class platform that lets organizations centrally manage the security and compliance of their products. Authernative and McAfee will offer a complementary solution for tracking and auditing strong user authentication options and user authentication events. The ePolicy Orchestrator platform is central to the security of over 40,000 organizations and manages more than 60 million endpoints.
