WireHead Security and SyferLock have announced a strategic partnership under which WireHead is delivering a next-generation security service to its new Infosec Island, a community for IT and information security professionals.

The new service, based on SyferLock’s GridOne portal solution, provides Infosec Island members with the option to log in with a very high level of security for confidential business, personal, or security-related communications. SyferLock’s GridOne authentication is available on Infosec Island to all registered members. Membership is free.

Infosec Island is the first secure infosec community Website, featuring not only SSL-based security, but additional options for enhanced security for its members, including SyferLock’s GridOne portal solution and IslandPKI, an easy-to-use solution for encrypting sensitive employee, health, or financial records and documents to share them safely via the Web developed by Media Sourcery.

The GridOne system is an enhanced authentication methodology and system that’s completely deviceless for the generation of one-time passwords, providing an extremely cost-effective security solution. This allows users to have a simple, more secure way to access information leveraging their existing passwords.

In addition, the GridOne solution is completely zero footprint and does not require any any additional software to be downloaded or installed. This allows the members to receive the same level of security from any machine they use to log in to Infosec Island.
