Strong Authentication

Turn on your TPMs with EMBASSY® software for strong user and machine authentication.

Today’s expanding mobile workforce, the proliferation of compliance regulations and the media attention related to corporate data breaches has forced IT administrators to rethink how their employees gain access to their PCs or corporate network. Fact is, companies who rely only on the use of weak passwords are vulnerable to what some in the industry refer to as the dreaded “CNN Moment”—when a data breach of customer records must be made public.

Costs of Tokens, Smart Cards Add Up

The emergence of smart cards and hardware tokens marked a significant advance. But per-employee costs for tokens and the propensity for employees to lose them has hindered widescale adoption.

Simultaneously, the need for stronger authentication has moved beyond remote access applications and now also applies to accessing wireless local area networks (LANs) and domain authentication.

Benefits of Open-Standards
Hardware Security

What if there was a more secure and cost-effective approach to deploying strong authentication using security you already have? Did you know strong authentication capabilities come with virtually every notebook PC that is sold today? Or that standards-based solutions support a diverse set of identity credentials? We’ll show you how to increase the security of your network while saving money at the same time.

Adaptable for Digital Certificates,
One-Time Passwords & Biometrics

Whether you’re interested in using digital certificates, one-time passwords or biometrics, Wave can show you how to take advantage of the security built into your notebook PCs for strong user authentication to virtual private networks (VPNs), web applications, wireless LANs and your corporate network.

Like a Smart Card Built into Your PC

Simply turn on the security inside your notebook PCs and configure your policy servers to require credentials protected by a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). It’s like having a smart card or OTP token built into your PC—without the traditional costs of purchasing, deploying and maintaining those devices.

Safeguard Your Network by Checking IDs at the Door
In addition to knowing which users are accessing your network, knowing which computers are on your network can be equally important. Rest assured that only the PCs that you issued are the ones gaining access to sensitive corporate and customer data.

Protect your network against viruses introduced by unauthorized computers and safeguard your sensitive data by only allowing authorized, properly configured PCs to access your network. If you’re considering network access control solutions, to verify the integrity of a PC prior to allowing network access, you should take the first step in locking down your network to only authorized machines.
