It's common knowledge that passwords aren't enough. In fact, weak passwords are the #1 cause of information breaches. In today's age of increasing threats and strict compliance demands, it's critical to move beyond passwords to more secure authentication methods to ensure the person asking for access is who they say they are.

Enter multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication requires the user to prove their identity by presenting two or more pieces of evidence. These factors can include something they know, something they have, or something they are. A popular method is the use of security tokens to provide a one-time passcode.

ActivID® tokens generate random passcodes that cannot be re-used. End users gain access to resources by possession of the token and knowledge of a PIN number. Common use cases include:

  • Employee authentication to corporate resources such as workstations, cloud applications, remote access/VPNs, and more.
  • Customer authentication to on-line resource, storefronts or digital banking sites.
  • Transaction verification, including digital signatures, for banks, healthcare organizations and more.
  • Encryption of email and hard disks

ActivID tokens can also be used in situations where standards bodies have required stricter data protection to achieve regulatory compliance.

HID Global offers a broad portfolio of solutions to best match your specific needs – including physical and digital options.

  • ActivID One Time Passcode Tokens
  • ActivID USB Tokens
  • Soft Tokens

These tokens can be customized for both look and security profile, and are supported by an end-to end ecosystem for easier deployment and support.
