** Products > Two-Factor Authentication with RSA SecurID

IDsec now offers the world's most popular and secure enterprise
authentication solution. SecurID gives users a brand new password
every 60 seconds.

IT managers are coming under a lot of pressure to provide
two-factor authentication, driven by compliance and other
regulatory moves in both the private and public sectors.
The first factor - "something you know" - is the familiar system
password, but setting up the second - "something you have" -
takes real effort.  Although this is nominally a security issue,
the current economic climate means that there are genuine business
concerns. An implementation needs to have a small footprint,
avoid major user disruption, minimise cost and keep a tight rein
on support overheads.

* Proven Technology

RSA's SecurID tokens are very well established in the market,
with millions of users and a 20-year development history.

Part of their success is the simplicity of the underlying
approach: every 60 seconds the token produces a new, unpredictable
numeric code that can be checked by the login process against an
authentication server. This provides strong network security, and
RSA's implementation has proved reliable and convenient for users.

* User Convenience

In fact, recent product developments have provided a wide range
of form factors so that IT managers can roll out the type of
authenticator that is most suited to their users.

In addition to the original credit card sized unit, there are
now SecurID key fobs, USB sticks and software tokens for smart
phones such as Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Symbian devices.
IDsec can help you set up strong authentication using SecurID with
the minimum of disruption, and integrate it with other security
systems, including RSA's security event manager, enVision.
