Strong Authentication

With the ever growing need to make networks accessible from itinerant users, it is critical to maintain control over who is gaining access and what they are accessing. Simple authentication methods like memorized passwords are almost always inadequate (being easily guessed or stolen). The best way to ensure that only authorized individuals are accessing your network is to impose strong authentication. Strong authentication consists of determining proof of identity using at least two forms of authentication.

Secure SafeWord takes away all the vulnerabilities of the memorized password and replaces it with two-factor authentication. This approach gives each user a small hardware token, into which they enter a PIN number. The token then generates a one-time passcode which is then used to authenticate with the server. Using this type of strong authentication, any attempt to steal the passcode is useless, because the passcode is used only once and then discarded. Secure SafeWord strong authentication is very easy to use and integrates seamlessly into your existing IT infrastructure.

Initially starting with collaboration around Lotus Domino, we have systematically entrusted more and more of our IT security architecture (antivirus, URL filtering, strong authentication, etc.) to Walsman & Associates. At their recommendation, we opted for Safeword from Secure Computing, world leader in providing security solutions. To date this solution has proven itself quite satisfactory.
