		INFO & KNOWLEGDE

The most common way of authenticating employees, partners or customers — username and password — is also one of the weakest in use today, and has been subject to numerous forms of proven password attacks. Strengthening this type of authentication — typically by mandating long, complex passwords and enforcing frequent changes — often delivers minimal security improvement, yet significantly increases help-desk costs.

As part of a layered security model, Entrust IdentityGuard is a strong, open versatile authentication platform that enables you to layer security across diverse users, transactions and applications — based on the associated risk. It is a common-sense approach to strong authentication that enables you to apply the right level of strong authentication tailored to the assessed risk for the transaction that the user is performing. The strong authentication platform integrates with your existing environment and minimizes the impact of security on employees, customers and partners.

Strong but handy authentication: IdentityGuard

Entrust Identity Guard provides strong authentication but using easily understood methods, which makes it perfect also for non-skilled users. It provides also non-invasive authentication methods with minimal impact on the user experience. If you have certain user groups, secure the most sensitive user identities of them using open multifactor authentication capabilities, including a physical second factor with grids and one-time-password (OTP) tokens.

But strong authentication shouldn't be one-way, with IdentityGuard it can be ensured for all parties with mutual authentication not only to rely on user unfriendly SSL-certificates.

With Identity Guard you can manage cost, risk and complexity of authentication with a single platform, which provides the widest range of authentication methods. With IdentityGuard you can use a risk based authentication approach with appended step-up-authentication, with Entrust Transaction Guard you can leverage this functionality for transaction authorisation.

Of course, with IdentityGuard you streamline administration with central policy management and you are ready for what comes next, due to the open architecture.
