SecureAuth Delivers Identity-based 2-Factor Authentication, SSO and IdM for Financial Applications

Financial Institutions from banks to credit unions are heavily regulated. Both the FFIEC and NCUA specifically address the need for risk-based assessments, customer awareness, and security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing financial institutions' Internet-based services. Financial institutions are under extreme pressure to reduce costs and are embracing cloud computing to lower their capital expenditures, reduce support costs, and provide faster application delivery. Even though cloud-computing is more cost effective, many financial institutions aren’t allowed to consider this alternative simply because they would have to store credentials used to validate users’ off-premise or don’t have ability to deploy more granular access controls.

Because of FFIEC and NCUA many organizations have deployed authentication to secure access to online enterprise information and are now challenged to provide secure access to cloud applications. However, many solutions provide the same level of authentication without consideration for who the user is or the type of information they access, and the credentials used to validate the user are stored off-premise. Providing secure online access isn’t an option for the financial services industry, but implementing the right authentication to ensure easier, more secure access to online systems while keeping credentials stored on-premise is an option.

Secure, Simple Access to All Financial Services Applications and Resources

SecureAuth is an Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP) that secures and simplifies access to every cloud, VPN, and web resource from the office, or remotely from mobile devices with integrated Authentication, SSO, and IdM Services. SecureAuth provides configurable authentication options that can be easily mapped to the role of the user, the IT applications and resources they access, and the security policies associated with the sensitivity of information accessed.

In addition, SecureAuth’s hybrid architecture makes cloud applications an extremely secure extension of your IT infrastructure without compromising the security of your user identities and access controls! Simply install SecureAuth and you can be integrated into your existing directory to validate user credentials. All user identities and access controls remain securely stored within your on-premise protected enterprise directory such as Active Directory. Once authenticated, based on their role and the type of application being accessed, your end users can securely access on-premise and cloud applications.
