This new agreement allows Mobile Mentor to add TeleSign’s Mobile Identity products and services to its growing enterprise mobility solution set across the Australia and New Zealand markets. With the Mobile Identity products Mobile Mentor will be able to provide its large enterprise and government customers with a high level of security by using mobile devices for two-factor authentication.
