Critical information exchange solutions provider IntraLinks is increasing secure access to its platform with Adaptive Authentication from RSA, The Security Division of EMC. IntraLinks customers will continue to use their convenient single sign-on to access information and files while immediately receiving enhanced authentication security.

IntraLinks provides on-demand solutions for businesses to securely collaborate, communicate and exchange critical information inside and outside the enterprise. For more than a decade, 750,000 professionals from more than 90,000 organisations have relied on IntraLinks to accelerate workflow, optimise business processes and realise new profit potential.

“As more and more data is shared outside the firewall, IT teams are being tasked with creating a higher level of security for critical information,” said John Landy, CTO of IntraLinks. “Leveraging RSA Adaptive Authentication will provide IntraLinks users with industry-leading, risk-based authentication technology.”

Risk-based authentication is engineered to ensure that the security of sensitive information cannot be compromised through the simple theft of a username and password. With RSA Adaptive Authentication provided via software-as-a-service (SaaS), IntraLinks will provide its customers with enhanced user validation by assigning a unique risk score to each user’s activity. When high-risk policies are triggered, users can be prompted for additional credentials such as those gained through challenge and response questions.
