User Authentication

The threat from 'Identity Theft' shouldn't be overlooked. For many organisations, passwords alone do not provide a sufficient level of protection from unauthorised access to corporate information. The perception to both end-users and administrators is that user authentication is an additional 'hassle'. Unfortunately, just like anti virus and intrusion detection solutions, user authentication technologies are often introduced following a 'scare', perhaps when a laptop has been left on a train, or a disgruntled employee has successfully gained access to sensitive information.

As new technologies have been developed a new range of user authentication solutions have become available. Each solution has pros and cons which must be evaluated against business needs, and without guidance this can be a difficult process. Ultima's understanding of these solutions can help organisations choose the most appropriate technology to provide the level of protection required for users and the corporate data they need access to.

Ultima can recommend and implement a user authentication solution based on the specific needs of public and private sector organisations utilising technologies from market-leaders such as RSA Security. Protect your users' identities by taking appropriate precautions before you have to!
