SecurEnvoy announced its aggressive foray into Indian markets with the announcement of a national level distribution agreement with Lancers e-Risk solutions. SecurEnvoy's flagship product, SecurAccess, enables remote workers to sign in securely to corporate networks from anywhere in the world, using their mobile phones for authentication. Instead of relying on tokens or smart-cards, users are sent a passcode to their mobile phone, which they use in conjunction with their Microsoft User ID and password to log on to the network. Once a passcode has been used, it is superseded with a new one sent to the phone.

The innovative use of mobile phones for two-factor authentication is also an integral element of SecurEnvoy's SecurMail and SecurPassword solutions. SecurMail allows users of Microsoft Outlook to send and receive email using two-factor authentication, encryption and SSL technology, allowing the sender to have complete confidence that only the intended recipient can read the email. SecurPassword enables Microsoft Windows domain users to reset their own password if it is forgotten. They simply enter their Windows logon ID into a dedicated web-site, answer a configurable security question and enter the pre-loaded passcode from their phone, which enables them to select a new password. Also available is SecurICE, SecurEnvoy's service that means companies can enable users to access the corporate network securely if they can't get in to work in an emergency situation.
