As the frequency and sophistication of hacker attacks escalates, the traditional user name and password no longer offers needed information protection, even with strong password policies. Add to that the increasing migration to Cloud applications, plus the pressure of compliance mandates and governance initiatives, and IT security managers are scrambling for a higher level of protection.
The answer is two-factor authentication. But legacy hardware-based solutions are expensive and inflexible, and tokens are are inconvenient and easily lost. And as recent headlines attest, not always secure when the algorithms, themselves, are hacked.
Adventier is pleased to offer the new alternative that is already protecting the information assets of Coca Cola, Zurich Financial, Rolex and many others: the OTP3 one-time password server by Nordic Edge.
