VPN:Something you have, Something you know... Cost effective two factor authentication using your Mobile Phone....

Historically, two-factor authentication has been addressed by issuing tokens/keys from RSA, Verisign or another vendor. This at price points of $50 to $300 per user, which has no doubt made this option very difficult to deploy in small and medium size businesses because of the high cost of entry, on-going maintenance and administration.

Enter PhoneFactor from Positive Networks. PhoneFactor is one of the products being positioned to take advantage of something every Corporate Employee has, a mobile phone.

PhoneFactor allows the phone to be used as the "something you have" instead of the employee having to carry another device that may get lost. PhoneFactor allows you to use "something you already have" and quickly deploy "Tokenless Two- Factor Authentication".

How does it work?
-Using a centralized or local Windows server, users are entered into the secure database with their mobile phone numbers(also works with regular telephones as well, for home based employees).

-When a user wants to open a VPN session they will login to the VPN client, the VPN passes this information to the PhoneFactor server which calls the users mobile phone. The user answers the call and presses the # key which verifies back to PhoneFactor and the VPN. The user is then allowed on the network.

Pretty straightforward, wouldn't you say.

Now for the best part! The PhoneFactor software is free! You can go it alone and install using the very comprehensive documentation or purchase annual support and a version that allows you to enter a pass code when a users mobile phone is called.

PhoneFactor works with the very robust Positive Networks VPN or any VPN that supports Radius Authentication.

Cost effective, easy to deploy and maintain, an excellent product to enhance your remote access policy and security solution.
