Authentication Devices

Business Drivers for Authentication Devices

• More Sophisticated Hackers:  50% of data breaches exploit stolen or weak credentials
• Moving Beyond Traditional OTP: Multiple layers of defense are now necessary to inhibit the compromise of credentials
• Securing Windows Login: Smart cards provide the only two-factor authentication option for Windows login.

ActivIdentity gives organizations the flexibility to deploy any combination of authentication devices that best meet their specific business, security, and budget requirements. Solutions include Smart Cards, Smart Card Readers, Smart USB Tokens, OTP Tokens, DisplayCard Tokens, and Soft Tokens to Hardware Security Modules. Smart cards enable secure storage for credentials and support a wide variety of use scenarios. ActivIdentity also offers a broad range of smart card readers. Our USB Tokens provide strong security in an easy-to-use, portable form factor that has the same two-factor authentication, digital signature, and encryption capabilities as a smart card. ActivIdentity one-time password (OTP) tokens generate random passwords that cannot be reused and the end user experience is as simple as using an ATM machine. DisplayCard Tokens are credit card-sized solutions that quickly and easily generate and display an OTP on the card. Soft Tokens provide a simple and efficient solution for the distribution, activation, and reuse of tokens for strong authentication. ActivIdentity partners with the leading vendors in application and transaction security to offer hardware security modules.
