Securing Digital Identities Across
Multiple
Applications & Organizations
The Problem
Previously, protecting access to electronic
resources was a relatively simple process. Today,
the rise of the Internet as a standard medium
for conducting business both within and without
an organization has resulted in a staggering
series of identity management challenges
that are dwarfing the capabilities of information
technology departments across virtually every
industry. These challenges include: |
 |
Corporate:
(1) Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley,
HIPPA, Gramm-Leech-Bliley, Patriot
Act, and a host of other laws and regulations,
(2) Managing user identities across
a number of different applications
and, (3) Providing secure access to
employees |
| |
|
|
B2B: Business
partners, clients and suppliers who
need to get secure access to company
resources. Federated Identity
standards are helping solve this challenge. |
| |
|
|
B2C Consumers
who need to securely access online
banking and e-commerce applications. |
| |
|
|
Government
agencies that need to authenticate
both the users and the devices seeking
to remotely access sensitive or classified
information. |
| |
|
|
Solutions
The components of the solution include
|
Authenticating
the identity of the user via strong
authentication in Corporate, B2B
and B2C scenarios |
ProtectID™ is
an authentication platform that integrates
the company’s breakthrough ‘Out-of-Band’ technologies
to ensure total protection, authentication
and verification of a user’s online
identity. ‘Out-of-Band’ technology
enables multi-factor authentication by
utilizing the telephone to create a separate
pathway for authenticating a user’s
identity. Biometric devices such as fingerprint
and iris scanners as well as voice recognition
can be added to the process for additional
layers of security.

managing the identity of the
users stored in Enterprise

ResetID™ uses ‘Out-of-Band’ technology
to reset user credentials. Unlike other
technologies, and provides the most secure
and convenient ways of authenticating password
resets into Active Directory or LDAP.
