Benefits
Reduces cost
Eliminate multiple forms of identification and consolidate administration for logical, remote, and facilities access.
No readers to deploy
Workstations and laptops do not require a special reader – ActivKey directly connects through the USB interface, saving IT organizations time and money. Users simply plug the token in an available USB port to enable strong authentication for workstation and network access, remote access, application access, as well as secure information and transactions.
Strong credentials for increased security
With a range of algorithms, form factors, and designs to choose from, customers can choose the right tokens for their diverse user population. Mix and match tokens as needed to get the perfect fit.
ActivKey USB tokens complement employee identification, identity management and PKI initiatives with credential storage and strong security services for proof of identity.

ActivKey USB tokens work together with ActivID™ Card Management System (CMS), ActivClient® and 4TRESS™ AAA Server for a complete two-factor authentication solution to enterprise networks, data, and applications, and with SecureLogin® SSO for a true single sign on experience.
