| Key Features and Benefits | ||||||||
|
PassGo's Defender is aimed at organizations that need to establish effective password control for use in secure remote access environments. It offers secure, two-factor strong authentication. The software ensures only authorized users access the network, and enables secure and easy electronic enrolment as well as comprehensive administration and management facilities. Defender provides two-factor authentication, which uniquely authenticates users without forcing them to remember another new password. For enterprises needing highly scalable user authentication in dial-up, VPN, firewall, or other remote access environments supporting RADIUS, Defender is a standards-based, strong two-factor authentication security solution. Defender uses standards-based challenge/response technology to create a one-time password that is far more secure than static passwords. Its easy-to-use tokens compute this one-time password when challenged by the Defender security server. Then, without the authorized user's unique token and PIN to activate the token, potential intruders cannot compute the one-time password. Even if the password is captured, it doesn't pose a threat because the password is never valid again. |

| PassGo Technologies' Defender works directly with Check Point VPN-1 to provide strong user authentication. The Defender libraries are embedded in VPN-1 and are used to set up a communication channel between VPN-1 and Defender via TCP/IP. Once the channel has been verified, an initialization sequence from VPN-1 begins the authentication process. | ||||||||
