| CRYPTOCard Endorsed in Mark Osborne's 'How to Cheat at Managing Information Security' CRYPTOCard has been endorsed in Mark Osborne's "How to Cheat at Managing Information Security" for making it simple to integrate "One-Time Password" authentication tokens with existing PSTN, SSL VPN, and IPsec VPN systems. Published by Syngress, "How to Cheat at Managing Information Security" is the only book that provides a solid understanding of all major security issues and products required by an IT manager responsible for securing any sized organization from small office environments to enterprise networks. Mark Osborne's endorsement of CRYPTOCard for making it easy to integrate one-time password authentication technology with legacy systems mirrors a recent Butler Group report that commended CRYPTOCard for making it simple and cost-effective to eliminate easily-hacked static passwords. Developed to meet real-world requirements – where Linux and Mac workstations often live in a mixed Microsoft Windows domain, with Windows clients and Apache or IIS Web servers – CRYPTOCard's event-based two-factor authentication tokens make it simple and cost effective to eliminate weak static passwords by generating a random password for every logon attempt. One-time passwords cannot be reused by hackers and do not need to be memorized by users – eliminating the help-desk costs associated with resetting forgotten passwords, and the security risk resulting from users writing them down. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
