This broad adoption represents the retirement of at least 120 million conventional application passwords --an average of 10 passwords per user that change at least twice a year -- in hundreds of companies around the globe. The surge in license volume reflects the rapid implementation capabilities, scalability, low total cost of ownership and broad functionality of the v-GO suite, including the platform's ability to integrate enterprise single sign-on Enterprise single sign-on (E-SSO) systems are designed to minimize the number of times that a user must type their ID and password to sign into multiple applications.

"The proliferation of applications and Web-based services has triggered a corresponding proliferation in passwords, with a majority of users having six and a third more than 15 of them. Our v-GO suite reduces the administrative burden, the security risks and all the other pain points connected with the password explosion, including the challenge of complying with government regulations on data access and privacy," said Marc Boroditsky, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and president of Passlogix. "These factors will continue to fuel our growth." The v-GO platform is built around v-GO SSO See single sign-on and CSO. SSO - single sign-on (v-GO Single Sign-On([R])), which automatically and securely signs the user into enterprise applications after a single network logon without requiring additional identification and authentication processes. Five add-on products extend v-GO's single sign-on capabilities to any form of strong authentication and to kiosk environments; enable all identity provisioning systems to automatically inject user credentials into v-GO SSO; enable self-service reset of forgotten Windows passwords; and simplify deployment of strong authentication devices. "Enterprise customers continue to struggle with legacy systems as they upgrade identity assurance and impose stricter identity-based access control and audit requirements," said Phil Schacter, at Burton Group. "Enterprise SSO products are well positioned to provide a new control point for enforcing and auditing application level access policies, while reducing the number of logins and enabling the gradual transition to stronger forms of authentication."
