Filed under: Authentication Security, Authentication Trends, PortalGuard
Inflexibility and low usability have proven to be barriers for organizations with the primary barrier being high total cost of ownership in today’s economic climate. Token based approaches are expensive and problematic when hardware is forgotten, needs repair or replacement. PortalGuard avoids these barriers by providing a flexible and cost-effective approach which is easily accepted by users. Two factor authentication is used to increase security by requiring to provide “something know” (a password) and leverage “something you have” (laptop, mobile phone). The use of two distinct authentication factors helps eliminate an organization’s security concerns around granting access based on a single, knowledge based factor. The benefits include increased security add an extra layer of authentication to application access, reduce Risk prevent attacks by leveraging credentials which expire after one use, usability leverage hardware a user already has for increased user adoption, eliminate forgotten passwords leverage a username and OTP only as credentials, configurable to the user, group or application levels and flexible multiple OTP delivery methods available.
