IntraLinks Security Architect Mushegh Hakhinian to Speak at the RSA Conference in San Francisco

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IntraLinks, a leading provider of critical information exchange solutions, today announced that Mushegh Hakhinian, security architect, will share his expertise on multi-factor authentication at the RSA Conference in San Francisco on February 17.  Hakhinian is giving a presentation on "Strong Authentication for Online Applications: Building it Right", which provides an overview on where and how to implement multi-factor authentication.  Hakhinian is responsible for ensuring that IntraLinks' industry-leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform enables companies to securely exchange information outside the firewall.  

"I look forward to providing RSA Conference attendees with my observations on how to introduce multi-factor authentication into web applications and best practices for evaluating available vendor implementations," said Mushegh Hakhinian, security architect, IntraLinks. "IntraLinks is renowned for its commitment to strong security and I hope that my presentation will help other people to implement user friendly and economically viable multi-factor authentication solutions for their companies."

Related to the presentation, IntraLinks recently enhanced its two-factor authentication feature, providing additional security assurances for customers and users. The key upgrade enables custom authentication rules to be created for a user's exchange. For example, customers can allow an exchange to be available only on the days that a user's company is open for business, or limit access for individual users to specific IP addresses.

Other relevant security accomplishments for IntraLinks include:

• 10 consecutive years of getting SAS 70 Type II certification, an internationally recognized standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

• Successfully completed 95 security assessments and evaluations by customers and independent auditors

• Joined Cloud Security Alliance's Subject Matter Expert Board, working with other SaaS leaders to promote best practices for security of cloud computing

• Enhanced document locking and protection to provide additional safeguards around restricting document printing, forwarding and saving, as well as enabling watermark security

• Partnered with Ping Identity to implement single sign-on to authenticate each user so they can securely access their exchanges without needing to remember multiple login credentials
