Solution for Authentication access

Authentication is the process of determining whether someone is, in fact, who it is declared to be. The more factors used to determine a person’s identity, the greater the trust of authenticity. Strong authentication can be achieved using a combination of the following factors:

• something you know – password or PIN
• something you have – token or smart card (two-factor authentication)
• something you are – biometrics, such as a fingerprint (three-factor authentication)

Because multi-factor authentication requires multiple means of identification at login, it is widely recognized as the most secure method for authenticating access to data and applications. Multi-factor authentication solutions ensure that only authorized individuals access your organization's sensitive information -- enabling business, protecting your data, lowering IT costs, and boosting user productivity.

• Reduce Risk: Strong authentication significantly reduces the risk of fraud and data theft.
• Comply with Regulations: Deployment of authentication solutions allow you to comply with industry, federal, and government regulations and standards.
• broad and flexible range of strong authentication solutions include certificate-based (PKI), OTP, hybrid, software, and out-of-band (OOB) authenticators
• Intelligent Management and Control: Management platforms enable central management of multiple authentication methods, seamless integration, and improved usability

With Multi-factor authentication solutions, you can strengthen VPN security for remote access, protect data on laptops and PCs, enhance network access security, simplify password management and protection - with the industry's broadest range of authenticators, management platforms and security applications.
