The mobility of the modern workforce
has increased productivity. People can be anywhere in
the world and access networks, email, data, etc. But
increased mobile access has increased mobile security
risks.
To circumvent these risks, users
have to carry multiple specialized devices. They don't
have one device, small enough to fit into a pants pocket
or on a key chain, onto which they can store work (documents,
presentations, images, etc.); take it wherever they
go; and use it log in to the network, secure Web sites
and email.
The Authenex A-Key®
4500 token is such a device. It is the most versatile,
secure token available today, and the only token today’s
mobile user needs.
A-Key®
4500 token users can store their work in the encrypted
flash drive memory of the token. They can then take
it anywhere with confidence that their data is safe
from loss and theft. And, because the A-Key®
4500 token has One-time Password and Challenge/Response
authentication capability built-in, it also enables
secure remote log in.
All files saved onto the A-Key®
4500 token are encrypted on the fly. The encryption
functionality is built into the A-Key®
4500 token's chip itself. It is not an application
on the token: it cannot be altered or erased.
The A-Key®
4500 token has two level of password protection
available: user and admin. This gives the system administrator
a greater degree of control over the token.
For added security in the event
the token is lost or stolen, if someone tries to log
in and fails a configurable number of times, the token
will automatically erase all stored data and restore
its factory default settings. This functionality is
also built into the A-Key®
4500 token's chip itself. It is not an application
on the token: it cannot be altered or erased.
The A-Key®
4500 token can be used for both Challenge/Response
and One-time Password authentication for remote (VPN)
and LAN Authentication.
Lastly, software can also be pre-installed
onto the A-Key®
4500 token. ACert™
Software enables A-Key®
token users to securely store and use digital certificates
on the token. My
A-Key™ software enables A-Key®
token users to securely store Web logon credentials
and automatically log in to Web sites without having
to touch a computer keyboard. With keyloggers on an
estimated 50% of all computers, My
A-Key™ software on the A-
Key® 4500 token software is not just convenient,
it is necessary. |
