What's in it, what's cool, how you use it
Using Strong Authentication
BlackShield ID can be used to replace static passwords or add an additional layer of protection just about anywhere a password is used, including logons for VPN's, firewalls, terminal server, windows logon, Citrix and more.
Virtual Test Drive
Take this video tour of the management interface and discover how easy it is to provision users with tokens, manage security policy and more while reducing administration and help desk commitments.
Security and Compliance
Developing a Security Policy that meets the requirements of internal stakeholders and external auditors can be difficult. See how BlackShield ID can get you where you need to be with LDAP integration, workflow automation, security threshold alerts and built-in logging and reporting.
Self-Enrollment
One of the most useful features of BlackShield ID is Self-enrollment because it dramatically reduces the time and effort required to provision users with tokens and solves the problem of secure delivery via the internet, courier, mail or any intermediary service.
Key features that make BlackShield ID a better solution
One BlackShield ID - Multiple LDAP and SQL Directories
Many organizations need to extend authentication to external contractors and business partners who do not have an LDAP account. BlackShield ID solves this challenge by supporting both LDAP and SQL user directories.
SMS Tokens - Zero Footprint, 360 Degree Security and Usability
SMS tokens turn any device capable of receiving and SMS message into a token. There's no client software to install, no hardware to distribute and best of all, no waiting to log on.
Not All Tokens Are Created Equal
Not all tokens are created equal. While all generate a one-time password, tokens that are limited to 6-digit token codes can significantly limit security policy and ultimately lead to increased help-desk costs, logon failures and user frustration.
Reporting and Auditing - Key Elements of a Security Policy
It is important to be able to audit and analyze authentication activity. With BlackShield ID, virtually all server activity is recorded in both logs and databases.
Manage Better, Work Less
Management by Exception is the notion that it should not be necessary to monitor analyze reports to identify when a security policy threshold has been exceeded or to detect attacks such as brute force or denial of service. Instead, BlackShield ID should automatically respond to security events by taking preventative actions and alerting me to the situation.
LDAP and BlackShield ID - The Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts
LDAP PreAuth integrates BlackShield ID authentication with authorization policies such as account status, access restrictions and group membership established in LDAP.
Importing Pre-Programed Tokens
For customers that don't want to initialize their own tokens, BlackShield ID can import pre-initialized tokens and in the process, automatically apply customized PIN policies you've created on your server.
MP Software Token Self-enrollment
Electronic provisioning of software tokens is fast, simple and secure. The process supports activation on client machines with pre-installed MP Software or allows users to install the software and activate the token.
