Secure VPN Access
Protect confidential data, secure remote access for employees and partners
Many organizations use virtual private networks (VPNs) to provide secure access to their electronic resources. VPNs create a private “tunnel” through the public internet, which runs between a remote user and the organization’s internal network. The VPN encrypts the data in the tunnel, preventing anyone who intercepts the data form being able to understand the contents.
Why would you need additional security? VPNs protect the integrity of data transmissions, but they only rely on simple usernames and passwords to authenticate the user. This exposes your organization to the risk of identity fraud.
VPN implementations that utilize hardware authentication devices, such as OTP tokens, are expensive to deploy and manage. This is where Arcot comes into action. Arcot WebFort combined with the ArcotID secure software credential, is a software-only, two-factor strong authentication solution. Arcot RiskFort works in conjunction with WebFort to reduce the risk of identity fraud.
