New Delhi, March 23: Innefu Labs, a research oriented information security group and a developer of cyber security solutions, on Monday announced the availability of Innefu Authshield 2FA, a unique two factor authentication solution that uses a protocol level decoding engine.
It will offer enhanced protection to personal and business information stored digitally on personal devices or at onsite, remote or cloud based systems.
“Most IT users generally prefer to protect their digital information using a single factor of authentication (User Name and Password) and often use the same password to login to multiple applications,” says Tarun Wig, Founder, Innefu Labs, ”No wonder, a majority of hacking attacks are aimed at stealing user login credentials to access victim’s email, web apps, VPN accounts or to carry out fraudulent activities such as stealing online banking credentials, credit card information, debit card pins, etc.” he added.
Key features
Innefu Authshield 2FA solution uses dual mode of identification where along with the user id and password of the user, verification is also done through a secure randomly generated one time password (OTP) or a challenge response mechanism using PUSH Notification protocol. The OTP is generated automatically and provided to the user through multiple form factors including Hard Token, Mobile Push, Mobile Token, Soft Token, SMS Token and Voice Token. An organization can easily mix and match and choose specific form factors for different users.
Key benefits:
· Enhanced Protection – for SAP, VPN, Remote Server Login, Web Applications, Windows login, Corporate Email, ERP solutions, Cloud Infrastructure
· Wide Support – AuthShield authentication server supports all the form factors and allows users the flexibility to shift from one form factor to another
· Safe & Transparent – Entire authentication process is transparent where the primary password of the user is never visible to AuthShield server. AuthShield server only receives the user name and one time password thereby ensuring users privacy
· Flexible & Fast- AuthShield 2FA can be integrated with multiple integration points including VPN, Web applications, Unix / SSH, corporate mail, desktop mail clients etc in less than thirty minutes
· Reliable – AuthShield 2FA uses its multiple servers hosted around the world to ensure fail over and High Availability across the client spectrum. The servers are hosted by ISO 27001 certified data centers with Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
