Two-Factor Authentication for clients of banks and financial institutions
A flood of new security attacks targeting banking customers over the last twelve months has forced organization or regulatory bodies (e.g. FFIEC) to introduce new directives covering the recommended use of two-factor authentication by online banks by the end of 2006.
PortWise’s basic tenet is to protect remote access to organisational assets via a combination of both user and device authorisation.
This principle acknowledges that users may be connecting to the host network via a variety of remote devices, including all sorts of mobile or third-party devices.
So the first step in accepting such a connection is to assess the device being used and its relevant state of security. In extreme cases, devices considered as being non-compliant may be refused entry.
