Strikeforce’s patent-pending ProtectID™ is the first and only identity authentication solution
whose ‘Out-of-Band’ technology creates
a separate pathway for authenticating a user’s
credentials. This is achieved by leveraging
an existing device to which virtually everyone
has access – the phone.
The advantage is obvious
at login. Instead of being asked for a
user name and password, an individual is now
only required to supply a user name. Within seconds
of supplying that name, the individual’s
telephone rings. The ‘Out-of-Band’ call
can be programmed to either a cell phone or a
landline.
ProtectID™ identification
can be either two-factor or three factor. For
two-factor identification, the individual is
asked to enter a password – not on the
computer where it can be easily hacked but on
the phone keys. For three-factor authentication,
an additional biometric-based authentication
(voice, iris, fingerprint) can be performed.
Once the authentication
is complete, the original application (online
bank account, credit card application, e-commerce
purchase, corporate network access) that requested
the individual’s name allows the user access
without the vulnerabilities posed by traditional
authentication methods.
ProtectID™ is the only
integrated identity management platform able
to ensure the true identity of any user on any
system while simultaneously leveraging various
authentication methods to deliver a dramatically
lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
