Over recent years, tens of billions of data records have been compromised and billions of dollars have been fraudulently obtained. The root cause in many cases is the compromise of the humble password or shared secret. It provides the attacker with practically all they require to be successful in their goals.

It is not that difficult for an attacker to steal a password. Every time you use a username and password to authenticate to a website or a web application the credentials for that particular login has to be transmitted across a network such as the Internet to validate both username and password. As you have no control of the security from the point of sending your credentials, it is not possible to guarantee security.

Data transmissions can often be captured, and even secure web connections can still fall foul of Man-in-the-Middle attacks. Further to this, the webserver itself may be holding thousands of usernames and passwords, creating another attack target.

The problem goes further. We are human. We often find more “effective” ways to use and manage our passwords, such as writing them down so that they are not forgotten, sharing them with colleagues to help in a particular situation. We also fall victim to social engineering and phishing attacks.

These known problems and vulnerabilities can be eliminated quickly by adding something to the password such as an additional factor, or better still, by removing the password all together and implementing a far better solution.

idenprotect’s passwordless MFA is an essential and effective control that properly verifies and validates your users and ensures that there can be no attacks against vulnerable passwords and shared secrets. idenprotect uses a device’s internal security hardware to create a tamper-resistant vault where the user’s private key is stored.

With this approach, even a device’s own operating system cannot force a breach and it is impossible to copy or remove the key. Working together with biometrics, the private key replaces the password to deliver security of a higher standard than that of traditional hardware tokens and smartcards, which will no longer be required.

idenprotect is different from other vendors’ offerings in terms of security and usability. We enforce strong authentication at all stages so that potential opportunist attacks are thwarted, we also provide user initiated authentication that prevents users responding to bogus push alerts. In addition, security contexts such as biometrics, location information and device information ensures that the likelihood of a successful impersonation attack is eliminated.

Complex and sophisticated attacks designed to capture passwords to allow easier access to your client’s sensitive data, communications and financial deposits.

You need to provide a secure yet easy to use authentication and access solution that users will want to use across all applications and systems.

You need to protect users logon accounts and access to minimise the risk of a data breach.

idenprotect supports alternative authentication methods when users are offline or don’t have their phone, or when an app requires a different level of authentication.

idenprotect doesn’t grant access until it knows exactly who you are using biometrics and a securely held private key that no one can access or steal.

idenprotect is easier to implement and easier to use than most other 2FA and MFA solutions on the market.
