Passwords are not the best of security solutions, as enterprises and individual users have found over the years. They can be cracked or stolen, and not necessarily by high-tech means either.
Often, passwords created by end users in corporations are simple, being based on numbers significant to them: their birth dates, wedding anniversaries, birth dates of their loved ones, their auto licenses plates or a combination of these.
Or, where the passwords are created by the system administrator, end users tend to leave them exposed. "You'll see Post-it notes on users' computer screens with their passwords, or the Post-its are stuck under the table," Chris Collier, vice president, identity solutions, at IdentiPHI, told TechNewsWorld.
Increasingly, enterprises are looking with battery like Fujitsu FPCBP200 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP201 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP206 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP207 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP216 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP36 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP37 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP49 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP50 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP63 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP64 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP65 Battery to biometric solutions -- fingerprint, palm or retina scanning among them -- to secure access to their computers.
IdentiPHI unveiled Version 5 of its SAFSolution product at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. This lets enterprises replace passwords with biometric authentication or smart cards.
SAFSolution 5 is tightly integrated with Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows Active Directory and other similar platforms, and "you can either use biometrics or smart cards or both," Collier said.
The product provides a framework to replace network authentication, storing templates in the Microsoft Active Directory Server. It's "the only technology that works with Citrix FastWorks Technology," Collier pointed out.
SAFSolution 5 supports sensors from more than 40 vendors on the back end with a single install, and "you can take a biometric vendor's product and plug it into our framework," Collier said. Customers can select the authentication methods that best fit their needs.
The product also has a security framework built in for separation of duties under Active Directory so the enterprise can assign different roles to different people in the organization, a key aspect of internal control which prevents fraud and errors. "Other computers just use Microsoft Group Policy, which isn't very secure," Collier noted.
New features include last logon recall, drop-down logon customization, secret questions, SAFremote for Citrix (Nasdaq: CTXS) and Windows Remote Desktop.
SAFSolution 5 is in pilot deployments with several key customers, including a major telecom firm that has rolled it out to 60,000 users in a phase one deployment, and a tire maker, which has rolled it out to 89,000 users in the U.S., Collier commented.
