CRYPTOCard technology has been used for over 20 years to solve the problems that businesses face due to the continued use of static passwords. CRYPTOCard offers strong passwords through innovative password security.
Static passwords are not only in-secure, but because they are easily copied, lost or stolen, they present a business with the challenges of managing and replacing lost or forgotten passwords. The nightmare of having users writing down passwords for password security on to Posit-IT notes and attaching them to the screen or keyboard of their PC is an all too common theme. A stronger password validation solution must be in place.
The unabated increases in ID theft, Hacking, Phishing and other website security e-crimes are a constant worry to businesses. Two-Factor Authentication uses the principles of something that you have (a token) and something that you know (a PIN) to replace standard password security.
Our Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) solutions have provided strong password security solutions that have delivered the answer to many business password security problems, including:-
- Compliance to PCI, HIPAA and other international regulatory standards
- Compliance to specific industry requirements such as GCSx and Code of Connection in the UK
- Improved auditability for standards such as Base 1 & 2 and Sarbanes Oxley
- Reduced risk through the provision of strong passwords
