Thursby Software Systems, Inc. has expanded the Mac compatibility of its PKard smart card with its PKard for Mac v. 1.2. This version integrates the smart card to Apple OS X 10.8 Mountain Lioin.

PKard for Mac provides smart card access to secure websites, Web VPN and secure Apple mail for the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) market. Its two-factor authentication meets the standards of the U.S. Department of Defense, federal and corporate Mac users for CAC, PIV, PIV-I or CIV uses.

The new update is currently available on the market. It’s free to all existing customers and costs $29.95 for those who need support for Mountain Lion. Thursby is also still supporting Mac’s Lion and Snow Leopard releases.
