Desktop Access
The most widespread authentication method for desktop registration is a user name and password. However, this model has serious deficiencies – in both protection and user friendliness. Most users either choose passwords that are too simple or use the same password for different purposes. If businesses respond by requiring complex passwords and forcing users to change their passwords every few weeks, the users generally write their passwords down. Professional two-factor authentication solutions are well-suited for secure and user-friendly protection. We would be glad to help you find the right solution for your requirements.
Remote Access
Security requirements are also growing in conjunction with the increasing opportunities for working on the road or from a home office, e.g., via VPN. Your security level can be increased significantly by a solution with two-factor or multi-factor authentication for your remote access system. Besides the security aspect, other criteria are, of course, also crucial in choosing a suitable solution. They include flexibility, scalability, user-friendliness, cost efficiency and, last but not least, compatibility with the existing infrastructure. With the vast number of products on the market, it is not easy to find the optimal solution. We can assist you in this.
A hybrid solution for desktop and remote access
Those who exclusively protect either their desktop domain or their remote domain by professional authentication are definitely on the right path. Nonetheless, sooner or later most businesses are faced with the challenge of protecting the other domain with two-factor authentication. However, the selected solutions are often unsuitable for such an extension. Hybrid solutions that can secure both desktop and remote access are ideal for keeping costs and administrative effort low.
Application Access
In today’s business world, users have to manage increasing numbers of accounts for different systems, applications and web services. But each application is associated with additional passwords. Standardization of user accesses by a single sign-on method paired with multi-factor authentication is a secure solution that is convenient for users. We would be glad to consult with you about your requirements and work together with you to find the right solution.
Cloud Access / Federated Identity
Dedicated IT systems are increasingly being used for interfacing with external companies to make cooperative working relationships between businesses more efficient. Of course, it must be assured that only authorized persons get access to sensitive data. Federated identities are well-suited for collaborative work between organizations that are administratively independent, so that redundant user accounts are not created. The cooperating partners establish “circles of trust”. The SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) standard is generally used for this purpose. With SAML authentication, it is sufficient if the user authenticates to a certain identity provider (IdP) once to gain access to every server that is a partner to this IdP.
Scenarios for the modern IT landscape
For years now, the approach for comprehensive IT security was to limit access to the company network with a firewall. However, the distinction between “in front of the firewall” and “behind the firewall” no longer applies to today’s IT landscapes. Cloud applications, accesses via the mobile devices of employees, etc. – all of this would have to be navigated and managed by a firewall. In a modern IT environment, it is more advisable to design the user authentication flexibly, so that it is not only equipped for today's requirements, but those of the future. We would be glad to consult with you about your options.
