The number of mobile employees and home-based staff steadily grow; they require access to corporate applications and business critical data anytime and anywhere. As a result, network administrators receive requests for flexible yet secure access to applications such as VPN, SSL-VPN, Outlook Web Access, Citrix Web Interface, Intranet...

Remote access is one of the most valuable though most vulnerable features in a corporate network. Corporations no longer can afford to leave their systems and confidential business data unprotected. For hackers, it is child’s play to access the corporate network by stealing user credentials.

aXsGUARD Identifier addresses these security challenges by adding strong user authentication to multiple web-based applications. It is a simple and cost-effective solution, allowing corporations to authenticate their legitimate users and keep unauthorized users from accessing the corporate network.

The solution has been designed for corporations which want to avoid sharing server resources for too many business critical applications. As a result they opt for a dedicated appliance to manage authentication requests without impacting the existing IT-infrastructure.

Multiple hardware versions are available for the smallest SME to the largest multi-national depending on the number of users. All aXsGUARD Identifier hardware versions are equipped with the aXsGUARD Identifier Core OS and offer the same software capabilities.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Instead of using a log-in and static password, employees will use their DIGIPASS to log on to a Web- or VPN server. The DIGIPASS will generate a One-Time Password (OTP), which can only be used once and which replaces the insecure static password. aXsGUARD Identifier will verify this OTP and will be able to prove the users’ identity quickly and easily.

VASCO have a wide range of DIGIPASS authenticators consisting of one-button devices, pin-pad authenticators, card readers and software based solutions for web browser or mobile phone. Customers can choose from this range and find the authentication device which best fits their needs.
