With the introduction of OmniPass 4.0, the product has now evolved to a full enterprise class security product. The password manager of OmniPass 4.0 can now support all enterprise level applications, such as terminal emulators, SAP, Oracle, and others. OmniPass 4.0 also becomes the first product in the market to support the Mozilla browser family (including Firefox 1.5).

The new version also integrates new security features, such as secure e-mail, secure VPN access, and secure digital certificate access. Now these functions can be setup by the user or IT administrator to require strong authentication before access to sensitive data or networks is granted.

Many new authentication devices are supported in OmniPass 4.0, more security devices than any other competitive product. OmniPass 4.0 now supports numerous biometric readers as well as multiple brands of smart cards, FIPS 201 compatible PIV cards and security tokens. OmniPass 4.0 also supports the latest Trusted Computing Group standard TPM 1.2 chips from all manufacturers. Along with support for more devices comes the need for more extensive authentication rules and OmniPass now allows any "equation" of security checks to authorize access to a user. The user's authentication policy can be set by the IT administrator using the management console in the companion OmniPass Enterprise Edition server product.

"Enterprise customers must operate and secure a wide range of applications, and face the challenge of how to establish and administer a common view of identity and entitlements. Through common administrative interfaces, audit and reporting capabilities, and standards-based interoperability, the OmniPass Family of Products provides critical components for the enterprise security architecture," said Apurva Bhansali, Founder and CEO of Softex, Inc.
