Entrust IdentityGuard is a versatile authentication platform that supports a wide range of authentication methods including IP geolocation, machine authentication, digital certificates, mobile authentication with soft tokens and transaction notifications, knowledge-based authentication, grid authentication, and mutual authentication. It provides centralized policy management and can be deployed based on considerations of risk, usability, and cost.
Hitachi ID Password Manager provides self-service password reset and synchronization capabilities. It allows users to reset their passwords via a web browser, from the login prompt, or via telephone. This reduces help desk call volume from password resets by 40-70% and speeds up the reset process. Password synchronization ensures users only need to remember one password by pushing updates to all their accounts. This improves security, user experience, and reduces help desk costs associated with password management issues.
The document proposes novel one, two, and three-factor authentication methods for mobile devices based on public key cryptography without certificates. The methods provide strong security while being easy to implement and deploy. In the one-factor method, the device authenticates using a stored key pair. In the two-factor method, the key pair is regenerated from the user's passcode. In the three-factor method, the key pair is regenerated from the passcode and a biometric sample, providing stronger authentication.
Mobile Minions is a mobile employee management system that aims to help companies manage their mobile salespeople and penetrate new competitive locations. The system provides data storage and access through a web UI, but implementing its full scope faces challenges due to its complexity.
The Value of Crowd-Sourced Threat IntelligenceImperva
On April 3, CNBC reported the details of a large-scale attack campaign targeting the banking industry. As a result of this campaign, multiple U.S. banks experienced website outages totaling 249 hours over a six week period. Would the damage from the attack campaign have been reduced if the banks had the ability to share crowd-sourced threat intelligence? Imperva's Application Defense Center (ADC) recently analyzed real-world traffic from sixty Web applications to identify attack patterns. The results of the study demonstrate how sharing attack patterns across a community of Web applications can significantly mitigate the risk of large-scale attack campaigns. This presentation will: identify how cross-site information sharing (crowd-sourcing) creates security intelligence, demonstrate the value of adding crowd-sourced intelligence to Web application security, and provide real-world examples of attack patterns that can be shared for community defense.

It presents a reference architecture that connects solutions for network security, endpoint security, identity security, and security information and event management to better protect, detect, and remediate breaches.
Organizations need highly secure authentication under IT’s control, coupled with an access method that is very easy for users – especially users on mobile devices. This executive brief discusses the problems with current authentication systems and offers an overview of a more advanced and more secure system of authentication.
Abstract: Digital technologies have made customers powerful, giving them the option to choose and the means to instantaneously spread their opinions widely. They have become demanding, and they change brands without a blink if their experience with the product or service isn’t what they expect. Brand loyalty, therefore, has taken a backseat and customer experience has emerged supreme. In an IBM survey, 95% of CEOs said enhancing customer experience was top priority for them. Security forms a core foundation for enhancing customer experience!
Typically security has been inward looking focusing more on technology vulnerabilities and less on securing business objectives. Securing the digital enterprise entails looking outside-in, to protect customer experience its strategic objective. Also, internally the digital enterprise needs assurance against vulnerabilities introduced by
digital technologies like cloud, IoT etc.

Modern Authentication – Turn a Losing Battle into a Winning Strategy, Robert ...Core Security
Passwords, multi-factor authentication, knowledge-based questions/answers, and hard tokens are based on technologies that are now 20 years old. With organizations losing the battle against cyber attacks, it’s clearly time to move beyond these legacy technologies and adopt a modern approach in which awareness and flexibility are king. Authentication must adapt based on the level of risk, so that it can deliver strong security yet be invisible to users most of the time.
Achieving that balance of strong security and appropriate user friction is the basis for modern authentication. This session will explore what modern authentication is and why using it across all users, devices, and services is vital to turning a losing battle into a winning strategy to stop cyber attacks.
There is no debate that companies large or small are more or less have put a lot of efforts in protect digital security and privacy with “best practice” recommendations, often use solutions from branded security vendors or built by best in-house/outsourced experts, yet they are falling prey of cyber and insider attacks, because “compliance” or “best practice” do not equal to security. The reality has shown us that traditional security approaches have fall behind the increased system complexity and advanced technical capabilities that have been mastered by adversaries.
The key weakness in our security defenses lies with the weakness of digital identities systems have been used to authenticate users (no system could defends against attacker impersonates legitimate user); follow by inability to validate the authenticity and integrity of communication (If attacker can temper with the data freely, then no need to crack the one time password) and finally incapable of protecting information from unauthorized accesses in an event of inevitable security breach because unknown system or application security vulnerabilities.
FrontOne’s information security solution addresses all security weakness listed above:
First, FrontOne uses its own digital identity that is harden to withstand advanced hackers using sophisticated real time attacks and help all its users from falling prey of identity thieves from phishing and malware attacks at client side to advanced persistent threats at the server side, because FrontOne’s digital identity is dynamic and non-transferable.
Second, FrontOne provides 100% message integrity by using dedicated and destination aware messaging system and ensure each and every message is completely unique; reducing the chance of attackers from being able to identifying and manipulating it for their benefit.
Finally, FrontOne uses its own method of protecting information at rest, in transit or in use, by focusing our innovation at the security and integrity of encryption key while using industry standardized cryptography. FrontOne’s user centric data protection solution uses dual control for its encryption keys. Random encryption key is protected with security key that has two parts, one part from the client side and other from the centralized key server. This arrangement ensures that access to protected data is available with the presence of the user device of the authorized user.
The security approaches FrontOne have taken above are further strengthened with its own patented technologies that introduce a dynamic element is each and every message and transaction, mutually authenticate both parties before a request is served and providing user with ultimate control that is not accessible digitally.
Effectively Defending Your IBM i from Malware with Multi-Factor Authentication Precisely
Your IBM i holds data that is vital to your business and can be a target for ransomware and other types of malware. Did you know a frequent vulnerability that is exploited to initiate a ransomware attack on your IBM i is a compromised password?
Security breaches caused by passwords written on sticky notes, guessed passwords, or bruteforce password attacks have compelled IBM i shops to implement stronger password management controls. One of the most effective protections against this type of attack is MultiFactor Authentication.
Watch this on-demand webinar to learn:
- What true multifactor authentication really is

- Tips on implementing MFA for the IBM i
The Best Shield Against Ransomware for IBM iPrecisely
Did you know a frequent vulnerability that is exploited to initiate a ransomware attack on your IBM i is a compromised password? The most frequent approach to compromise system access is Credential Stuffing where an intruder finds user ids and passwords that have been stolen from somewhere else, sold on the dark web and attempts to use them at another organization. This is often successful because many people re-use the same password they use at work at multiple other online sites.
Adding multi-factor authentication is the #1 action most enterprises can do to prevent cybersecurity incidents from occurring. Even in industries that do not currently require MFA for regulatory compliance, governments are taking cybersecurity more seriously as agencies and infrastructure are increasingly being targeted. Investing in an MFA solution is an effective way to secure your data from unauthorized access and protect your resources.

Multi-Factor Authentication - "Moving Towards the Enterprise" mycroftinc
In the past year, we’ve seen a significant shift in how we are asked to authenticate to web applications. The trend is moving from relying on simple username & passwords to wider scale use of two-factor, risk-based & multi-factor authentication (MFA), such as software tokens, one-time password (OTP), and various forms of device identification. What does it all mean & is it something your organization needs?
The simple answer is…multi-factor authentication needs to be on the radar of every organization, as passwords are no longer enough to protect users. Passwords are too easy to crack or steal & hackers are indiscriminant. From an operational perspective, organizations are losing money through high volumes of help desk tickets related to logins & password resets. Strong passwords are still just too weak of a defense in today’s business world.
Join us at 11amET on Tuesday, April 1st for an interactive webcast with our team of subject matter experts to learn more about how to turn this new requirement into a seamless feature of your current environment.

PORTAL PROTECTION:
Raising Security Without Raising Disruptions
It's an age-old dilemma: security versus user experience. Traditionally, hardening security adds to the burden on users — they have to authenticate more often or supply additional factors. But many organizations prefer to err on side of the user experience, especially when it comes to protecting portals. But the multiple portal breaches in 2016, including those at ADP, Cisco, and Verizon, might give you pause. In fact, with 81% of reported breaches in 2016 involving the use of stolen or weak credentials, can you continue to sacrifice security for user convenience? The good news is, you don’t have choose.

2. Poor Authentication on the Web
Website and Mobile security are the most vulnerable area of IT security
• 96% of all breached records were accessed from outside, often by using
stolen login credentials or key loggers that capture passwords
• Passwords are poor security:
• People have too many to remember, choose
weak passwords, use the same password on
multiple sites
• Vulnerable to key loggers, brute force attacks,
dictionary attacks, etc.
• Login credentials leaked from one site are used to access other sites
• Challenge Questions are poor security
• Tokens, Smart Cards, Biometrics are expensive, not practical for public-
facing websites
Company Confidential Information
3. How to Balance Security & Usability
The need for strong security that is easy-to-use
• Businesses sacrifice security in an effort to create a “frictionless”
experience for online customers.
• This leads to online fraud and identity theft
($221 Billion in fraud last year alone!), data
breaches and other security compromises.
• Businesses struggle to enforce strong authentication without
burdening customers.
These issues are compounding as people do more
online interactions using mobile devices.
Company Confidential Information
4. Image-Based Authentication
Image-based authentication that creates a one-time password
1. The first time a user registers with
a website or application they
select a few categories to
remember
2. Each time authentication is
needed, they are presented with a
grid of random images
3. The user identifies the images
that fit their categories and enters
the corresponding letters as their
one-time password or PIN
Company Confidential Information
5. Why Images Are Better
Easy to remember
o The human brain is better at remembering categories and images vs. strings of random
A/N characters and symbols.
o Independent study showed users were able to remember their image passwords with
100% success after 16 weeks. Only 40% of users remembered their text passwords.
o Create a One-Time Password with every authentication vs. static A/N or site key image

10. Two Factor, Mobile Authentication
• Most solutions send a one-time password as
a text message.
- If the phone is lost or stolen, any person can
read the text and authenticate a fraudulent
transaction.
• Multifactor Authentication is more secure
because it requires the user to authenticate
on the phone by identifying their secret
categories.
• This is an additional security and process
layer that ensures user authentication and
access to applications and data.

11. KillSwitch Capability
• In addition to choosing their secret
categories for authentication, the
user may choose one or more “No
Pass” categories
• Sends automatic alerts or locks the
account if someone attempts to
break in and taps one of the “Kill
Switch” categories
• An offensive technique that stops
brute force attacks and can identify
IP addresses that are attempting
brute force attacks and hacking

Editor's Notes
Image-based authentication from Confident Technologies is both highly secure and easy to use. It creates one-time passwords or PINs each time authentication is needed, yet it is easy and intuitive to use.
When a user sees the ImageShield they recall the need to select their secret categories. A blank field for A/N provides no help or recall in the process.Sources: “Awase-e: photo-based user authentication system” by H. Koike, T. Takada and T. Onuki. “D´ej`a vu: a user study using images for authentication” by R. Dhamija and A. Perrig.
The mobile phone is often used as a second authentication factor during highly sensitive online transactions. However, most solutions send the user a one-time password or PIN as a text message. If someone else is in possession of the phone, or using SMS-forwarding technology (also known as a Zeus-in-the-mobile attack), they can easily read the text and authenticate their own fraudulent transactions. Confident Multifactor Authentication is more secure because it requires the user to apply a piece of secret knowledge on the second factor device itself. This makes it a multi-layer, multifactor solution. The user simply taps the images that fit their secret categories on the smartphone. The entire authentication process remains completely out-of-band and the one-time password or PIN is essentially “hidden in plain sight.” Even if someone else gained physical or virtual possession of your phone, they would not be able to authenticate because they would not know the correct images to identify.
