LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM–September 12, 2016 – MIRACL, a leading internet cyber-security company, announced today the launch of its disruptive Zero-Factor Authentication™ platform that allows security solution and managed service providers to expand their businesses in the $4.0 billion user authentication market1 and immediately capture revenue from current and net new customers.
By offering a world-class security product at internet scale as a hosted cloud service, MIRACL enables partners to comprehensively address the need for secure and scalable authentication to highly regulated industries such as banking, government, and healthcare. MIRACL’s Zero-Factor Authentication platform will allow Dimension Data to immediately activate a new business initiative across global sales teams without friction.
“At a time when businesses are struggling to secure everything connected to the internet, we are disrupting the authentication market by redefining the landscape,” says Brian Spector, CEO of MIRACL. “By reversing the current security trend of storing multiple factors in the cloud, we have removed a company’s largest threat vector completely. Our zero-knowledge protocol provides better security across desktop and mobile devices by eliminating the need to store user IDs and passwords entirely. This means that companies in regulated industries will never receive a phone call that their user name and password database has been breached.”
“MIRACL’s Zero-Factor Authentication platform enables Dimension Data to drive our business into a new area of cybersecurity very quickly,” says Matthew Gyde, Group Executive – Security at Dimension Data. “This allows us to immediately expand our trusted relationships with clients as we help them accelerate to the digital era while maintaining robust security controls. We are excited about the opportunity to further grow our cloud-base security services and the cybersecurity outcomes that the Zero-Factor Authentication platform will deliver for Dimension Data’s clients around the world.”

- Eliminates a company’s largest security threat entirely since there is no single point of knowledge or compromise.
