SMS PASSCODE 3rd generation user authentication Christian Larsen Regional Manager, International VirtualizationForum 2014
Why Stronger Authentication? Simply because passwords are weak! » Hackers preferred weapon 76% of network intrusions exploited weak or stolen credentials (passwords)* » You might already be a victim 66% of breaches took months or years to discover* » The small organizations cannot hide 31%of all targeted attacks were aimed at businesses with less than 250 employees** » The threat is only getting bigger - Cybercrime is the fastest growing crime type in the world and targeted attacks grew by 62% from 2013 to 2014*** * Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2013 ** Internet Security Threat Report 2013 (published by Symantec) *** Internet Security Threat Report 2014 (published by Symantec) Adaptive User Authentication 2
Why Stronger Authentication? » We are already patching up, scanning and testing etc. » Companies often put a great effort into updating, patching, vulnerability testing etc., » but this way you only seal the windows, close the shutters and the cat’s door… » and if the wrong guy has a valid set of credentials, and you do not have MFA, he walks in through the main entrance… » even without anyone discovering it! – So you might be attacked without knowing! Adaptive User Authentication 3
Stronger Authentication in 2014 » Today a password is not enough to ensure your online identity, because it can be compromised in many ways (key logged phished, bought, guessed etc.) » Therefore the providers of online services like banking, e-mail, gaming, social media etc. now all force or allow you to step up authentication » And since almost everybody has a mobile phone, the providers use SMS/Text for validation » A user-friendly way of enabling Multi-Factor Authentication on a global scale Adaptive User Authentication 4
SMS PASSCODE We are a technology leader in adaptive multi-factor authentication software. We ensure employees can easily and safely access corporate networks and applications remotely. We provide IT/security managers with a cost-effective and easy-to-maintain offering that secures remote access systems, including Microsoft, Citrix, Cisco and Juniper. Adaptive User Authentication 5
The Evolution of Authentication Technology 1st Generation 2nd Generation 3rd Generation 80-90’s Hardware Tokens + Introduction of two-factor auth. ÷ High cost on tokens ÷ Distribution & administration cost ÷ An extra thing to carry 00’s Mobile based solutions + Real-time multi-factor auth. + No hardware distribution ÷ Deployment of soft tokens / apps ÷ Regional SMS delivery challenges Now Adaptive User Authentication + Contextual intelligence layer + Policy-based trusted IPs + Multiple OTP options + Location aware dispatching Our Heritage: • Always been based on SMS, Always been real-time, Always been session based, No client software Adaptive User Authentication 6
Two-factor vs. Multi-factor Authentication » Two-factor Authentication (2FA) is merely » Something you Know » Something you Have (Token, Card, Finger, Phone etc.) » Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) simply adds more factors » Your Connection (unique session identification) » Your Location (Geographically) » The Role/Rights you have (Group member i.e. consultant, employee) » A valid Gateway/Point of entry » Time of day (doors are open only between i.e. 8am and 10pm) etc. Basic security: Protects against 90’ies threats (key loggers, guessed/ cracked/ bought/ borrowed passwords etc.) Plus - users feel that their identity is protected. Higher security: Protection against also more modern threats like Advanced malware, Session hijacking, Phishing, Pharming, Man-in-the- middle attacks etc. New flexibility: Access may now be controlled based on i.e. Countries, IP-ranges, “Trusted locations”, Time frames, Roles, Groups and other factors.
