Authentication Management

Strong Authentication Made Easy

As your company attempts to implement a stronger level of network access security to meet regulatory compliance demands, you require a variety of multi-factor options and clear visibility into which employees accessed what, when and how in order to provide bulletproof audit capabilities. User authentication satisfies that requirement.

The need for organizations to implement multiple types of strong authentication options is driven by user environment, habits and workflow. All authentication options are not created equal – if more convenience is needed for users within the office – the choice could be biometrics. For remote users who access the corporate network through a variety of points – there are one-time password tokens. And, some organizations will want to leverage the building access cards their employees already carry for network access as well. But managing all these disparate user authentication options within one environment has been virtually impossible – until now.

Imprivata OneSign® Authentication Management is a unique user authentication solution that integrates a broad range of flexible and powerful strong authentication types – all managed from within a single administrator framework. OneSign eases the cost and complexity of managing independent systems and provides a central location for reporting access events across all strong authentication options, reducing the burden of regulatory compliance.

Flexible Authentication Options

OneSign Authentication Management provides native support for a broad range of plug-and-play authentication options such as One-Time-Password (OTP) tokens (including built-in management support for VASCO® DIGIPASS®) finger biometrics, smart cards, proximity cards, building access cards, and USB tokens. Simply plug them into your workstation and you are ready to go.

Consolidated Reporting

With OneSign Authentication Management, you can easily report in real-time an aggregated view of when, how and from where an employee gained access to the network. By having all access information available at the push of a button via standardized reporting, OneSign Authentication Management provides critical value in helping you rapidly respond to audit inquiries that may otherwise require manual viewing and collation of independent system logs. When adding OneSign Single Sign-On, you can also incorporate reporting on user access events to applications as well.

The power of OneSign Authentication Management is that it’s all in one box. OneSign Authentication Management is designed to be affordable and easy to adopt. Purpose-built for flexible and rapid enterprise deployment, OneSign’s appliance-based approach to suer authenticationdramatically minimizes implementation time, infrastructure needs, and installation costs – accelerating your return on investment right out of the box.
