SANTA CLARA, CA and BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - Mar 2, 2015) - Centrify Corporation, the leader in unified identity management across cloud, mobile and data center, announced today at Mobile World Congress 2015 that it has widened its lead in mobile security by combining multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for the next generation of wearable devices. Centrify is also providing new containerization and security support for Samsung's KNOX 2.4.

The Centrify Identity Service will support both the Samsung and Apple built-in fingerprint scanners, marrying the security of policy-based single sign-on with multi-factor authentication, thus creating a better and more convenient user experience. This new functionality includes push notifications to Android and iOS devices, integration of multi-factor authentication for SaaS and mobile apps with Android Wear devices, and the industry's simplest multi-factor authentication with one-tap verification. This capability will be generally available by the end of March.

At Mobile World Congress 2015, Centrify will also join AVG for the release of its new AVG Business Secure Sign-On IDaaS solution. The new AVG offering is powered by Centrify and is now generally available to all customers. Moreover, Centrify will participate in AVG's security forum panel, a Mobile World Congress must-attend event.

Centrify will also demonstrate at Mobile World Congress secure access to application containers using the Samsung Gear smartwatch. Those wearing the watch will be able to access their secure KNOX container automatically without the use of passwords, and also keep the container unlocked for an additional period of two hours as long as the device is in proximity range of the watch.

"We are committed to offering the best user experience, and with multi-factor authentication and single sign-on, we can ensure a secure and productive environment for enterprise users on our newest mobile devices and smart watches," said Rick Segal, Vice President, EBT Marketing and Strategic Relations at Samsung Electronics. "In a world where identity and mobile are converging, we understand the importance of granting mobile employees secure, seamless access to the corporate data and apps they need -- that's why our ongoing partnership with Centrify is so vital."
