ENEFITS STRONG AUTHENTICATION

SECURE REAL-TIME ACCESS ANYWHEREMSM's IT staff and travelling workforce were all equipped with DIGIPASS GO 6, a one-button authenticator that generates dynamic one-time passwords. Since the passwords expire after a limited period of time, hacking is virtually impossible.Employees simply log-on to the network using one-time password generated by the DIGIPASS device. Once this password has been validated by the VACMAN software suite, access is granted. "With DIGIPASS, our remote users and IT staff have real-time access to our business applications, anywhere in the world at any given time, without compromising security," Ajay Kumar Meher told us.CONVINCED OF BENEFITS STRONG AUTHENTICATION YIELDSDIGIPASS quickly overcame initial opposition from its users who found it cumbersome having to carry a hardware security device around. "Our endusers rapidly discovered the benefits of DIGIPASS", said Ajay Kumar Meher. "As a result of the increased security, they are able to work remotely and secure from anywhere as if they were at the office. They no longer have to remember passwords and rely upon IT support to reset forgotten passwords. User acceptance was also boosted by the fact that DIGIPASS GO 6 is a very straightforward device that is almost self-explanatory in its use. Where endusers may have been sceptical and wary at first, they are now truly convinced of the benefits of strong authentication."DIGIPASS added an extra security layer to MSM's SSL/VPN solution, improving data security and allowing employees to remotely access corporate data and applications. The combination DIGIPASS – VACMAN allowed MSM to deploy a comprehensive, scalable, high performance two-factor authentication solution for secure network access
