Security solutions provider ESET has announced the availability of the ESET Secure Authentication Software Development Kit (SDK), which enables companies to add two-factor authentication (2FA) to almost any of their systems that need to be properly protected.

With passwords getting compromised on a daily basis, 2FA solutions are becoming more and more important, especially when it comes to securing corporate accounts. As we’ve often seen, passwords can be stolen by hackers through phishing, with the aid of malware, or they can obtain the information directly from the vulnerable systems of service providers.

2FA solutions prevent attackers from accessing accounts even if they have the password.

The enterprise-grade secure authentication SDK from ESET can be easily integrated into the codebase and it provides full control of data for custom applications, such as corporate intranets or remote access systems.

This means that organizations will not be dependent on external systems, and they have full control over data, and no need for a cloud data store.

Both small and large businesses can take advantage of the ESET Secure Authentication Software Development Kit’s capabilities, which include auditing, logging, user authentication, and custom SMS gateway usage.

The solution is available for PHP, Java and .NET. Each version comes with the source code for a client-side library, developer and deployment guides, and usage examples.

“We have observed through conversations with customers and peers at industry conferences that interest and demand for 2FA protection is strong and growing rapidly,” said Andrew Lee, CEO of ESET North America.

“By introducing SDK to the market, there are now unlimited opportunities for enterprises to utilize our ESET Secure Authentication technology, which provides ultra-secure access to mission critical application,” Lee added.

ESET has recently launched the latest version of ESET Secure Authentication, a 2FA application that provides a powerful authentication mechanism, which enables users to safely access the company’s networks and sensitive data from a remote location.

“ESET Secure Authentication is a great option for small- and medium-sized businesses. Our solution offers a truly cost effective way to cover a company’s 2FA needs while giving it the added security confidence that only comes with the support of reliable and experienced brand like ESET,” said Ignacio Sbampato, chief sales and marketing officer at ESET, when the product was launched back in February.

Additional information and a free trial for the ESET Secure Authentication Software Development Kit are available on ESET’s website.
