SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ForgeRock (NYSE: FORG) today announced a strategic partnership with Secret Double Octopus (SDO) to extend ForgeRock’s rich passwordless and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) capabilities to enterprise workstations and infrastructure.

The initial product release includes:

  • Workstation MFA – Provides secure Windows and Mac workstation access with the ForgeRock Authenticator App, with push and one-time passcode notifications

  • Remote Desktop MFA – Ensures secure access for virtual and remote Windows desktops with strong MFA
  • Enterprise Infrastructure MFA – Eliminates unnecessary friction with seamless login experiences to VPNs, databases, and Unix/Linux servers

“Combating unauthorized access and credential-based attacks is mission critical for organizations to protect sensitive data,” said Fran Rosch, CEO, ForgeRock. “This strategic partnership will help accelerate our plans to more comprehensively secure the enterprise against major threats.”

“Secret Double Octopus is thrilled to enter into this strategic partnership with ForgeRock,” said Raz Rafaeli, CEO of Secret Double Octopus. “We look forward to exploring future opportunities to bring new solutions to market that make authentication more seamless and eventually passwordless.”

ForgeRock Enterprise Connect will be available exclusively from ForgeRock.
