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.
This document discusses password management and security. It covers topics like what passwords are, common password threats, creating secure passwords, and password management techniques. The key points are:
- Passwords should be complex, at least 8 characters including uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols. They should not contain personal information.
- A tiered password system assigns different strength passwords to accounts based on sensitivity, with banking getting the strongest.
- Techniques for strong passwords include passphrases based on sentences or song lyrics personalized for each site.
- Password managers can generate and store unique, strong passwords to avoid reusing the same one in multiple places and forgetting them. Regular password changes are also recommended.
The document discusses the importance of proper password management. It outlines some common issues with password management such as forgetting passwords and reusing passwords. The document then provides tips for strong password creation such as using at least seven characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols. It advises against using personal information or dictionary words for passwords. The document stresses the importance of protecting passwords to prevent unauthorized access to accounts and sensitive information.

Adding Two Factor Authentication to your App with AuthyNick Malcolm
This talk explains what two factor authentication is, and how to implement it in a Ruby on Rails app with Authy.
Originally presented at Auckland Ruby Nights on April 23 2015: http://www.meetup.com/aucklandruby/events/221958178/
This document describes PortalGuard's two-factor authentication solution. It provides tokenless two-factor authentication through one-time passwords delivered via SMS, email, printer, or transparent token. The summary describes how it works by enrolling user mobile devices, validating credentials through the PortalGuard server, and delivering one-time passwords to grant access to applications.
Two factor authentication presentation mcitmmubashirkhan
This document discusses two-factor authentication (2FA) as a method to strengthen user authentication beyond just a username and password. It describes how 2FA uses two different factors, something you know and something you have/are, to verify identity. Specifically, it evaluates using one-time passwords (OTPs) with hard tokens, mobile tokens, and SMS. While hardware tokens are very secure, they are also expensive and inconvenient. Mobile tokens are cheaper but still vulnerable to attacks. The best approach recommends sending the OTP via mobile token while sending transaction details via SMS to separate the factors and prevent SIM swap attacks. The document provides recommendations like using HTTPS and hashing to further improve security with 2FA.
3 reasons your business can't ignore Two-Factor AuthenticationFortytwo
Login security breaches have become commonplace in recent years. We hear about phishing attacks, stolen passwords and malware that collects all of our keystrokes. Once these data breaches would have instigated a call to use stronger and more complex passwords, however research has shown that two-thirds of all breaches are specifically the result of weak or stolen passwords. The one-time reliable password has become the weakest link.
This is where two-factor authentication (2FA) steps in.
Two-factor authentication is a simple yet an extremely powerful way of increasing security via the user logon sequence by simply adding a second factor of authentication to the standard username and password.
1. Traditional authentication methods involved simple passwords like names and numbers that were easy for users to remember but provided little security.
2. Modern authentication has become more complex, utilizing strong passwords with special characters, numbers, case sensitivity and languages only hackers understand.
3. The new trend is multi-factor authentication using biometric devices like retina scanners alongside passwords. Time-based authentication, where passwords are entered at specific timed intervals, provides an additional layer of security compared to passwords alone.

This presentation discusses how to protect yourself online through the use of strong and unique passwords, two-factor authentication, and other security best practices. It notes that passwords are often the weakest link and provides examples of common weak passwords. The document recommends creating long passwords with mixed case letters, numbers, and symbols that are unique to each account and don't contain personal information. It also promotes the use of two-factor authentication through apps like Google Authenticator and LastPass to provide an extra layer of security beyond just a password.
Two-factor authentication provides stronger security than single-factor authentication like usernames and passwords alone. It requires two factors: something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a token, smart card, or biometric). This makes hacking accounts more difficult as possessing just a password is not enough. While more secure, two-factor authentication has additional costs and may be inconvenient for users. However, as technology advances, the use of two-factor authentication is growing in industries like banking and online brokerages to better protect customers.
This document discusses graphical passwords as an alternative authentication method to text-based passwords. It begins with an introduction to passwords and then outlines two main techniques for graphical passwords: recognition-based and recall-based. Recognition-based techniques require the user to identify pre-selected images during login, while recall-based techniques require the user to reproduce a specific sequence or pattern during registration. Several examples of each technique are described, along with their advantages over text passwords in having a larger password space and being less vulnerable to dictionary attacks. However, graphical passwords also have drawbacks like being more vulnerable to shoulder surfing and taking longer to create and login. Potential solutions to these issues are proposed, with the conclusion being that graphical passwords are still an
Combat the Latest Two-Factor Authentication Evasion TechniquesIBM Security
In the wake of 2005 FFIEC regulation calling for stronger security methods, financial institutions have adopted two-factor authentication (2FA) as a means to mitigate online fraud.
Historically 2FA measures such as security questions, one time passwords, physical tokens, SMS authentications and USB tokens have been able to effectively stop fraud attacks. However, in the fast paced arms race that is the war against financial crime, cybercriminals are starting to take the upper hand by developing increasingly sophisticated techniques that bypass 2FA.
In this presentation, Ori Bach, Senior Security Strategist at IBM Trusteer demonstrates several of the 2FA beating techniques and explains how cybercriminals:
- Highjack authenticated banking sessions by directly taking over victims computers
- Make use fake overlay messages to trick victims to surrender their tokens
- Beat one time passwords sent to mobile devices
- Purchase fraud tool-kits to bypass 2FA

This document discusses the weaknesses of text-based passwords and proposes an alternative graphical password system. It summarizes that existing login systems use usernames and passwords but are vulnerable to shoulder surfing, keyloggers, and bots. It then describes a graphical password system that displays a grid of images for the user to click in a specific pattern to log in, avoiding these threats. System requirements of the proposed graphical password system are also listed.
This document discusses different strategies for selecting strong passwords. It outlines four basic techniques: user education, computer-generated passwords, reactive password checking, and proactive password checking. User education involves providing guidelines to users on creating hard-to-guess passwords using a mix of characters. Computer-generated passwords are random and difficult for users to remember. Reactive checking uses password crackers to find weak passwords after the fact, while proactive checking evaluates passwords during creation to reject weak options. The document also provides additional tips for strong passwords, such as making them long, unique, memorable through phrases, and incorporating a variety of characters.

A SlideShare PRO account is required to upload files privately.
This document discusses pricing strategies for services. It outlines three key differences in how consumers understand service prices compared to product prices. Namely, service prices are more difficult for customers to know due to variability, individual needs, and non-visible nature. The role of non-monetary costs like time and uncertainty are also examined. Various approaches to determining service prices are then reviewed, including cost-based pricing, competition-based pricing, and demand-based pricing oriented around customer perceptions of value. Specific pricing techniques within each approach are defined.
Pricing services is more complex than pricing goods due to several factors: customer knowledge of service prices can vary; services often have high variability between providers; and providers may be unwilling to estimate prices in advance as the nature of the service is not fully known until delivery. Non-monetary costs like time, search, convenience, and psychological costs also influence demand. While reputation and advertising are preferred quality cues, price may be viewed as a quality signal, especially for high-risk services. Common approaches to pricing services include cost-based pricing using direct and overhead costs, competition-based pricing by monitoring competitors, and demand-based pricing by relating price to customer perceived value.
This document defines viruses and summarizes their key characteristics and classification. It describes how viruses were first discovered through experiments filtering bacteria and plant extracts.

IRJET- Password Management Kit for Secure AuthenticationIRJET Journal
This document proposes a passwordless authentication system using unique identification tokens. It discusses the limitations of traditional password-based authentication systems, including susceptibility to phishing and users reusing passwords across multiple accounts. The proposed system would generate a unique token during authentication on the server-side rather than requiring the user to store and enter multiple passwords. This token would be included in the authorization header for authentication to protected routes on the server. The system aims to provide a more secure and usable authentication method compared to existing password-based systems.
PortalGuard is a software solution that provides five layers of authentication functionality including two-factor authentication. It can enforce two-factor authentication for accessing cloud applications directly, via VPN using RADIUS, or during self-service password resets. PortalGuard delivers one-time passwords (OTPs) for verification via SMS, email, voice call, printer, or transparent tokens. It has configurable OTP settings and supports standard RADIUS authentication for VPN access. Implementation requires server-side software installation on IIS servers and optional client-side software for additional features.
Two-factor Authentication: A Tokenless ApproachPortalGuard
PortalGuard is a software solution designed as a strong authentication platform, consisting of five layers including two-factor authentication, single sign-on, self-service password management, contextual authentication, and password synchronization, used for protect-ing browser-based applications which are hosted within an Intranet and/or outside the fire-wall, now commonly known as the Cloud.

Contextual Authentication: A Multi-factor ApproachPortalGuard
Increases in roaming user populations and remote access to organizations’ confidential data is becoming a larger security concern, leaving organizations with choices to make about how to secure these resources. A conflict of interest between business groups and IT security can create a struggle to maintain usability while increasing security. Although instituting better password policies is a preliminary option, organizations are often over steering towards rigid two-factor authentication solutions.

PortalGuard is an authentication and security solution that allows users to securely authenticate and manage portal login credentials from a web browser. It supports multiple platforms including WebSphere Portal, SharePoint, and Lotus Domino. PortalGuard helps address challenges like stronger authentication, reduced risk and compliance with security standards. It offers features like self-service password reset, single sign-on, one-time passwords and challenge questions. PistolStar, the vendor of PortalGuard, is an authority in tailored authentication solutions with over 475 customers worldwide and experience across numerous platforms.
A common concern across organizations is that users have too many passwords to man-age, each with a separate management interface to become familiar with. This creates user frustration and increased costs around Help Desk and IT support. Enterprise single sign-on (SSO) is looked at as a solution but for many organizations it proves too costly and many encounter internal resistance due to security concerns.
Password synchronization is a possible midpoint that can ease user frustrations by ena-bling access to different systems using the same password and a single interface. This proves easier to implement than SSO and most solutions can force enrollment and do not require client-side software.
However, organizations have struggled with forgotten passwords as a sticking point with password synchronization as each system must be reset independently.
PortalGuard addresses these challenges by providing a cost-effective, flexible approach to server-based password synchronization plus self-service password reset allowing users to easily manage passwords for multiple systems from a single, consistent interface.

Centralized Self-service Password Reset: From the Web and Windows DesktopPortalGuard
For companies of all sizes, the task of supporting users can prove to be taxing on the IT staff, especially the Help Desk and Administrators. Most studies show the cost of pass-word resets can range from $25 to $75 per incident and make up around 30 percent or more of Help Desk calls. This provides ample reason and demand for password reset and recovery tools which empower the user. By allowing users to self-service their own ac-count and password management needs, organizations can effectively offer 24/7 access and maintain productivity.
This document discusses security considerations for software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers. It covers identity management including internal authentication, single sign-on, and authorization. It also addresses data storage through encryption at the customer level or using multiple database instances. Data transmission security is discussed in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation using SSL/TLS encryption. Physical security of SaaS infrastructure is also highlighted as an important consideration. The document provides an overview of key security best practices for SaaS providers across technical architectural components.
SafeGuard Enterprise is a data security solution that uses policy-based encryption to protect information on servers, PCs and mobile devices. This document provides instructions on installing SafeGuard Enterprise Server, which acts as the interface between the SafeGuard Enterprise database and clients. It must be installed on a web server with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) configured. The instructions cover installing .NET Framework, IIS, SafeGuard Enterprise Server, and setting up SSL if using secure transport connections.
Gallagher provides integrated security systems for access control, intruder alarms, and perimeter security. Their software platform allows these systems to be managed through a single user interface. The platform uses field controllers and a variety of edge devices that connect sensors and equipment. These include access control readers, alarm keypads, electric fence controllers, and perimeter sensors. The systems can be tailored from small single sites to large multi-national installations.
Single sign-on (SSO) using two-factor authentication can reduce costs, improve security and simplify compliance. By implementing SSO:
1) Organizations can save over $189,000 per year by reducing help desk calls for password resets which account for 30% of calls.
2) Users gain productivity from accessing multiple applications with a single password while having stronger authentication through two-factor authentication.
3) Auditing and compliance is simplified with centralized authentication logging rather than managing passwords across multiple systems.
PortalGuard’s Flexible Two-factor Authentication options are designed as strong authentication methods for securing web applications. PortalGuard leverages a one-time password (OTP) as a factor to further prove a user's identity. The OTP can be delivered via SMS, email, printer, and transparent token. Configurable by user, group or application this is a cost effective approach to stronger authentication security.
