VPN / Citrix Authentication

Historically, two factor authentication using hard tokens have been used for securing remote access. However as the number of employees requiring remote access has increased, hard tokens are proving to be expensive to deploy and support enterprise wide. So enterprises are looking to alternatives to hard tokens, such as Soft Tokens or Out-of-Band authentication. In addition, they are looking for a single authentication platform that is interoperable with their existing token installation and allows them to provide different authentication schemes to different classes of users.

The ProtectID solution for remote access enables the enterprise to use their existing tokens but deploy lower cost authentication schemes, such as Soft Tokens or Out-of-Band authentication to other employees. The ProtectID solution works with VPNs and Citrix remote access solutions.
