Online Identity Assurance Closes Door to Unwanted and Fake Visitor

The Hague, Netherlands, January 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Starting at 2.50 Euros per month per user the right users are protected by strong and advanced authentication solutions. The identity of the user can be verified with one-time-password authentication based on mobile phones or OTP hardware token or verification of the user’s typing behaviour during login, before granting access after checking the permission rights.

Most organizations that operate online, offer their clients, partners, suppliers or employees access to private or sensitive online services and information or let them perform transactions. Controlling the identity and access of the users to systems, networks and applications are ranked high in priority on the list of security measures nowadays. Strong authentication is based on the principle of “something you know (password/PIN)” and “something you have (authentication token)”, or “something you are (biometrics)” and is therefore more secure than only username and password. With a secure and affordable identity assurance service the organization decides on the strong authentication needs, demands and wishes to be managed while paying only on a monthly basis for the usage of the service.
