Similar to the needs posed by organizations Plurilock has spoken with, this financial institution desired to reduce the risk from extensive remote work, and to secure remote employee devices that have access to sensitive data. Plurilock's technology uses a person's unique behavior as a form of authentication, and was sought as a compensating control for limited physical security in this remote environment.
"We are pleased to announce the latest purchase order for our continuous authentication DEFEND product after a stringent evaluation process," said Ian L. Paterson, CEO of Plurilock in a statement.
"Plurilock is defining a new paradigm of authentication, providing persistent and continuous authentication for workforces to help realize zero trust architecture. We are continuing to accelerate the roll out of our high margin products through our owned and partnered distribution channels, and this sale represents an important milestone in that effort," he added,
During the evaluation, Plurilock said it provided a simple, intuitive, and reliable detection methodology for user impersonation on the client's managed devices that allowed them to meet their detection criteria, while also maintaining the privacy of their users.
After an extensive product evaluation, Plurilock's DEFEND product was selected to be purchased for the financial institution's cyber defense infrastructure.
Overview of DEFEND's Product Evaluation:
- Total number of product evaluation users - 30
- Total duration of evaluation - 180 days
- Average detection time during evaluation - ~1 minute
