The Top Ten Reasons Thursby by Identiv Is the #1 Choice for Government-Grade BYOD and Mobile Security

By the Thursby Team

Now that Identiv and Thursby have joined forces, government-grade bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and mobile security may never be the same. Thursby by Identiv software solutions provide strong security for enterprise and personal mobility, supporting BYOD and two-factor authentication (2FA) on mobile devices.

But here are the details that really have people talking:

  1. Always an American brand — For over 30 years, U.S.-owned and operated Thursby by Identiv has been providing secure information access for government and enterprise customers.
  2. Government-grade BYOD — Thursby by Identiv Apple® iOS and Android™ mobile device apps support Common Access Cards (CAC), Personal Identification Verification (PIV) cards, and derived credential 2FA access to secure websites, and the ability to sign, encrypt, and decrypt emails anywhere.
  3. Unparalleled access — The Sub Rosa® app is the only mobile browser available that allows access to Defense Travel Systems (DTS), the ability to sign, encrypt, or decrypt email, and calendar access through Outlook Web Access (OWA).
  4. Over a hundred thousand Department of Defense (DoD) and federal employees served — Thanks to Sub Rosa, the U.S. Navy Reserve, Air Force, and other DoD and federal agencies can use personal and government-furnished mobile devices to access needed information on-the-go.
  5. Rapid, secure mobile development — Our royalty-free PKard Toolkit for iOS or Android is commercial U.S. software that shortens the development cycle for 2FA from months to days.

  9. Same secure code used by DoD and the White House — Thursby by Identiv Mac OS X software provides government-grade 2FA CAC and PIV access to secure websites, web VPN, and secure S/MIME Apple® email signing and encryption.
