Network & System Security
As organizations grows, so does the networked resources. Corporate networks are no longer isolated; they are connected one way or another to the Internet for various business activities such as eCommerce, Email, Site to Site VPN, Remote Access and Customer Service etc. While the Internet offers enormous benefits with access to information, but it also makes corporate networks vulnerable to security threats from hacker attacks, viruses, Trojans, spamming and spy-wares etc. It can only get worse with more and more users logging on to the corporate network from multi-point / multi-way of access. As a result, protecting access to confidential and sensitive information assets is of CRITICAL importance.
Predictable, easily crackable, and/or unchanging passwords are the single weakest point. The majority of security breaches are achieved through password access. Because of the vulnerability of static passwords, it is imperative that static password-based access to networked systems be managed properly, with the utmost attention given to controlling the generation, distribution, retrieval and use of passwords.
In large or diverse networks this is often a very difficult goal to achieve. The problem with passwords is the humans that forget them, write them down, stick them to their computers and never change them. The biggest step towards network systems security a corporation can take is to NOT let users be in possession of their own passwords.
Syntellect helps customers to implement all the necessary security measures such as Firewall, IDS, AntiVirus to safeguard information assets. In addition, implementing the CRYPTOCard's Secure Password Technology solution takes the password away from the humans. In short, users have a PIN (that only they know) and a token that generates a new One-Time Password for every secure logon attempt. By coupling something in the user’s possession (a smart card, hardware token, or software token), with something only the user knows (a PIN), CRYPTOCard SPT makes user authentication as simple as a swipe of a smart card – while ensuring that ‘Bob-is-really-Bob’, and not someone who has stolen, or been given, Bob’s password or digital certificate. Therefore, the CRYPTOCard 2 factor authentication solution is the best way for Identify Management and Authentication.
