New Blog Contributor
My name is Sarah Fender, and I’m the VP of Marketing and Product Management for PhoneFactor. I joined the company in the summer of 2007 just in time for the launch of PhoneFactor. So, I’ve had the pleasure of being involved with the product from pretty early on. My background is in the software industry, where I’ve served in executive level marketing, product management, and operational roles.
I’m fascinated by the changes I’ve seen in the authentication space this past year. New data breaches are being reported almost daily forcing regulators to really get serious about authentication. Two-factor is becoming the new standard for corporate and consumer authentication. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the two-factor movement and the PhoneFactor team.
I am pleased to be joining the PhoneFactor blog as a regular contributor, and I look forward to interacting with our readers.

ok phonefactor is free, is it free for anyone or just positive network customers?
PhoneFactor is really free for anyone to download and use. There are a couple of limitations. It can only be used to secure access to one corporate application, like a vpn or owa, for an unlimited number of users or one website for up to 250 users. Most larger organizations upgrade to our premium modules to take advantage of support or other advanced features like PIN mode, fraud alerts, Active Directory integration, etc.
Sarah, I am involved in assessing Phone Factor for a client. They use Oracle Single Sign On, which used Oracle Internet Directory. Does Phone Factor support this ?
