Small- and Medium-Sized Business Solutions

Authenex Products Make Sense

As Small and Medium size Businesses (SMBs) have learned, because of digital security threats coupled with regulatory requirements, they must implement network and data security solutions that provide enterprise-level protection to their critical business networks and data.

Still, small and medium-sized businesses tend to have one requirement that larger organizations do not: whatever solution they implement, it has to be very cost-effective, yet be so easy to use that the solution does not require an IT staff to maintain.

Authenex understands this requirement very well. We have tailored all our solutions to meet the needs of SMBs across all industries and enable them to have enterprise-level network and data security, without the traditionally high cost.

  • The Authenex Strong Authentication System (ASAS®) is a network security application that provides strong (two-factor) authentication for LAN, VPN, OWA and Web access. The ASAS® System helps keep your networks secure by requiring your users to use their A-Key tokens to authenticate via either Challenge/Response or One-Time Password (OTP) whenever they want remote or LAN access to networks, web sites, portals, OWA servers, etc. The ASAS® System utilizes an authentication server and database, as well as the A-Key® token as the basis for the most secure, easy to use, simple to administer and cost-effective two-factor authentication solution available today.

  • A-Key® tokens are USB tokens that enable users to store data in encrypted memory and safely take that data wherever they go. A-Key® tokens can also be used for Challenge/Response, PKI, and One-time Password (OTP) authentication. All data on an A-Key® token is safe from unauthorized use and from theft. The A-Key® token is password-protected and all data is encrypted with encryption. Also, the token has brute force penetration protection: if someone tries to log in to the token and fails a predefined number of times, the token will self-erase. This feature resides at the hardware level and cannot be altered.

  • ACert™ software is an Authenex product that can be pre-installed on A-Key® tokens, enabling A-Key® token users to securely generate, store, and use digital X.509 certificates.

  • My A-Key™ software can be pre-installed on A-Key® tokens, enabling them to automatically store passwords and user IDs to secure networks and websites in its encrypted storage area. Without anyone seeing the user names or passwords, My A-Key™ software can automatically log users in to Exchange servers, company intranets and portals, Web sites, ftp servers, VPNs, IM etc. My A-Key™ software leaves no footprint and no keystroke to record in a key log when it logs users in.

Authenex products enable SMB owners, managers, and employees to resolve some of their most pressing security problems:

How can I keep both my internal LAN and my offsite access to the LAN secure from information hackers?

Install the Authenex ASAS® System. This will require remote and local users to authenticate via OTP before they can access your network via LAN, VPN or other remote means. Since users never use the same password twice, access remains totally secure.

We have a very tight budget. How can I provide a truly effective network security solution that won’t cut too deeply into my budget?

Authenex understands the constraints that small to medium sized businesses must work within. ASAS® System bundles are made for you. ASAS® System bundles are pre-packaged, shrink-wrapped versions of the ASAS® System that are easy to install and maintain. Each comes with a fixed cost, a preset license, and a varying number of A-Key® tokens. Choose the package that best suits the size of your organization. There are no hidden costs, no estimates, or requests for proposals. If you want, you can implement the system yourself, or you can have someone else do it for you.

Whatever security solutions we implement, we cannot afford to hire an IT staff to maintain them. How can I have effective security for my users, data, and networks, yet not have to hire new staff or reply on another company to maintain the solution?

Authenex products are made to be use to use and maintain by just about anyone. For example, the ASAS® System (for both local and remote authentication), has an administrative interface the enables low- and non-technical users to perform most administrative tasks. This enables you, or someone you designate, to do things like, add and delete users from the system, assigned A-Key® tokens to users, etc. All the information you need, including instructions and background information are in the user guides.

I like thumb drives and want my users to use them, but they can be easily lost or stolen. How can I be sure that any company information that goes onto a thumb drive, whether that drive goes on the road or not, is secure?

Deploy A-Key® tokens to your users. The A-Key® token can have up to two (2) gigabytes of encrypted, password-protected storage. Also, the token has brute force penetration protection: if someone tries to log in to the token and fails a predefined number of times, the token will self-erase. This feature resides at the hardware level and cannot be altered.
