PROTECTION FOR YOUR VPN, Web Server & WAN
To stay competitive in today’s dynamic global market businesses have to provide employees with easy and cost-effective remote access to applications and resources. As the demand for this functionality has increased, it has led to astounding advances in remote access technology. However, despite the advances, one thing remains constant: To provide true security an organisation must be able to positively identify every user attempting to access the system.
YOUR WEAKEST LINK IS USING THE SAME PASSWORDS AGAIN & AGAIN
Although today’s SSL VPNs from Cisco, Microsoft, network providers, and application developers appear at first glance to have made network access more secure than ever, the simple fact is that today’s hacker is more capable than ever at defeating new security systems. And, as a result, static passwords pose the weakest link in any security solution even SSL VPNs.
Forcing users to come up with passwords that are hard to remember simply does not work because humans are not good at remembering a random string of numbers and letters.
CRYPTOCARD TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION SOLVES ALL THESE PROBLEMS
Whether using on-board software on a Blackberry or Laptop, pressing a button or swiping a card, to generate a random one-time password, two-factor authentication tokens and smart cards are extremely simple for the user by eliminating the need to memorise complicated passwords. Also, as passwords are randomly-generated and only used once, they are impossible for a hacker to steal and reuse.
ONE CUSTOMER'S COMMENTS ........
“We have an increasing number of employee’s who work from remote locations, including cafés and clients’ premises,” said Tom Chambers, Financial Controller of UK based Clifton Asset Management PLC. “Along with our security policy we have implemented a two-factor authentication solution to ensure that our shareholders have peace of mind that our information and database assets are secured.” And, as many two-factor authentication solutions seamlessly integrate with today’s SSL VPNs they are an attractive option for any organisation looking to make the most of its investment by eliminating the weakest link in the security chain – static passwords. Because, as high-profile breach reports make abundantly clear, preventing unauthorised access to valuable company data is no joke!
