Ensuring
secure remote access to enterprise information is essential as
companies continue to move their business processes online and
extend the enterprise boundary beyond the corporate firewalls.
Unfortunately, many organisations today still rely on static,
reusable passwords, thereby exposing enterprise information to
access by unauthorised users. The ActivIdentity Secure Remote
Access Solution provides everything you need to identify users
with certainty and confirm network privileges, enabling you to:
Increase productivity by allowing your remote employees to
access information from anywhere, anytime
Save time and money by securely moving business processes
to the web, eliminating time-consuming and costly manual
intervention
Improve efficiency by allowing partners, customers, and
suppliers to securely access the critical information that
they need to do business
Increase security with WLAN protection by requiring
two-factor authentication for remote access to critical
corporate resources
Opinion
“CST selected
ActivIdentity formerly ActivCard
as it did not obligate the customer with an expensive token
replacement policy. This combined with its simplified end user
experience, scalability to enterprise class networks and the future
proof requirement proofing beyond strong authentication to single
sign on (centralised password management) makes it a powerful
choice.”
Features & Benefits
The
ActivIdentity Secure Remote Access Solution consists of three
packages: Tokens, USB Keys, or Smart Cards, which can be deployed
concurrently to match your company' specific requirements. All
solutions are anchored with an ActivIdentity AAA Server that
validates one time passwords and a device that generates them. More
functional USB Key and Smart Card Packages require ActivClient
software on the client desktop to control communication with the
card.
Compelling ROI
For companies currently using two-factor authentication, the
ActivIdentity Secure Remote Access Solution can be deployed without
increasing your existing security budget. The result is a compelling
total cost of ownership and return-on-investment advantage that is
achieved by:
Lifetime replacement of tokens
Eliminating dual administration
Substantially reducing help desk costs
Consolidating credentials
Familiar and Easy to Use
By consolidating multiple authentication credentials on a single
smart card device, the ActivIdentity Secure Remote Access Solution
enables a user experience that is as simple and familiar as using an
ATM card. This ATM-like experience applies to VPN access as well.
Users simply enter their PIN on their keyboard to access the
credentials on their card.
Smooth Bridge and Migration
The ActivIdentity Secure Remote Access Solution allows you to
migrate smoothly from legacy single factor token devices to more
advanced smart card and PKI-based technologies without having to
replace your existing infrastructure.
Enhanced Security
WLAN attackers can access your network from the parking lot, making
WLAN simply another form of remote access to the network. The
ActivIdentity Secure Remote Access Solution has integrated 802.1X
authentication required by the WiFi Alliance as well as the upcoming
802.11i standard.
Easy Implementation and Administration
The ActivIdentity Secure Remote Access Solution is designed from the
ground up to be standards-based and to work with your existing
network infrastructure
