Enterprise solutions

Data breaches are costly and can severely damage a company’s reputation. Even during the economic recession, a December 2008 study from Forrester Research predicted that global budgets for IT security will rise 12.9% in 2009, almost twice the increase of the prior year.

The second biggest problem stems from employees not properly following security policies, for instance circumventing security controls or using weak passwords. Companies need strong security solutions that are easy for employees to use.

Furthermore, risk increases any time data can be accessed from outside the private network. Devices that leave the building present a major vulnerability; security policies are harder to enforce, and the devices can be lost or stolen. Easy-to-use strong authentication is crucial for any mobile device or anytime corporate data is accessed externally.

Mobile office

To save infrastructure costs and improve morale, more and more companies are offering their staff the option to work in a mobile office environment or from home. Meanwhile, traveling employees also need to access corporate information resources wherever they are. Finally, business continuity plans often call for teleworking in case of natural disaster or widespread illness. However, risk increases anytime corporate data is accessed outside the controlled confines of the office. Stronger authentication is required.

Web authentication

When a company offers secure web access, whether the application is e-commerce access for customers or a secure partner portal, strong user authentication is critical to prevent identity theft and data breaches.
