Do you really know who's
accessing your most sensitive networked information assets?
Unfortunately, security built on static, reusable passwords
has proven easy for hackers to beat.
RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication
is based on something you know (a password or PIN), and
something you have (an authenticator) — providing
a much more reliable level of user authentication than
reusable password.
Securing the Virtual Network
Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology - employing
either the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or IP Security
(IPSec) encryption protocol - has become the preferred
method for enabling remote access to corporate networks.
By creating an encrypted "tunnel" through
the public network, VPNs protect data in transit while
achieving significant savings over alternative approaches
to remote access, such as dedicated dial-up telephone
lines.
Unfortunately, VPN technology alone does not provide
reliable proof about who is accessing the data at either
end of the tunnel. Without strong authentication information
may be shielded as it crosses the network only to fall
into the wrong hands.
No Assurance, No Access
RSA Security's Mobile Workforce Security solution greatly
reduces this risk by forcing external users to present
multiple forms of identity to provide assurance that
they are who they claim to be before they are granted
access.
RSA SecurID two-factor authentication is one of the
leading solutions in its class. RSA SecurID hardware
and software tokens generate a unique, one-time access
code that quickly expires. Unless the user can provide
his or her PIN and access code at the moment of login
- proving possession of the appropriate provisioned
token - access is denied.
Protecting Your VPN Investments
RSA Security's secure VPN solutions are designed to
work out of the box with your existing remote access
infrastructure and tomorrow's standards-based offerings.
Through the RSA SecuredTMtechnology partner program,
more than 50 VPN products - from leaders such as Check
PointTM Software, Cisco Systems® and NetScreen®
- have been tested and certified to interoperate with
RSA SecurID two-factor authentication. The roster of
"RSA SecurID Ready" VPN solutions includes
both IPSec products and the newer generation of SSL
VPN products, which lower the cost of remote access
by eliminating the need to deploy software to client
devices.
