Strong Authentication


According to recent surveys, identity theft is seeing the largest increase over any other kind of crime worldwide. Identity theft is not only affecting individuals, but public and private organisations are suffering as well. Recent cases involving major global organisations reveal that identity theft can have severe consequences, such as direct loss of revenue and stock decline, but also other intangible side effects such as brand damage and loss of customer confidence.

Strong user authentication is a key requirement for any organization wishing to deploy services on-line, such as online banking applications, public e-government services or remote access to office applications. To protect the internal data as well as the integrity of the end-users, means have to be taken to ensure an identity cannot be faked or stolen.

By enforcing multi-factor user authentication from PortWise, an organization can make sure that both its information and its customers are well protected. PortWise provides solutions that are cost-efficient to deploy, ease to use and based on leading security standards. Whether you are a global bank looking at providing secure on-line banking applications for millions of end customers, a public organization deploying e-government services, or a local organization wishing to provide remote access for your employees and business partners, PortWise has the right solution for you.

Deploy strong authentication from PortWise and benefit from:

  • Multi-factor authentication without the complexity of hardware tokens - PortWise utilises existing hardware that the user already has, such as a mobile phone, a PDA or a PC, to distribute one-time passwords.
  • Multiple authentication mechanisms - One size never fits all. PortWise includes multiple mechanisms for strong authentication that can be used simultaneously, allowing you to custom-tailor your strong authentication.
  • Automated user enrolment - Features for automated user enrolment and security token distribution ensure easy and cost-efficient large-scale deployments.
