Security advantages of 2FA technology
  • Adds a critical layer of security beyond simply a username and password.
  • Increased assurance that the identity which is claiming to be is indeed the same authorized to do the transaction
  • Effectively protects access to accounts containing sensitive information
  • Able to maintain higher security without increasing complexity or costs associated with traditional methods of authentication.
  • Offers better user experience as there is neither an additional hardware or software requirement nor any training efforts involved.
  • Helps comply with regulations and standards such as RBI Guidelines (http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=7874&Mode=0), PCI DSS, etc.
Before choosing a two-factor authentication solution, you must find answers to these questions:
  • I need to protect my internal network from unauthorized access: Go for solutions that enable flexible secure network access for both office and remote locations.
  • My users need to connect from remote locations: Go for portable 2FA solutions that enable secure VPN and web access for remote users.
  • My users need to access many password-protected applications: Go for solutions providing single sign-on functionality, by storing user credentials on the token.
  • I need my users to digitally sign and encrypt sensitive data or transactions: Go for smart-card-based solutions that provide secure onboard PKI key generation and cryptographic operations.
  • Assess the sensitivity of your business data: More sensitive the data, greater is the priority on the robustness and security of the solution.
  • I want to protect data that sits on my users’ PCs and laptops: Go for token-based solutions offering boot protection and disk encryption requiring token to boot a computer or decrypt protected data.
  • I need to implement a secure physical access solution: Go for token solutions that enable integration with physical access systems.
