Two factor authentication offers greater data security

As enterprises work to secure data to meet the demands of regulatory compliance, two factor authentication has become a critical approach to managing enterprise security risk. Two factor authentication requires two different factors in order to authenticate a user. Factors may consist of:

  • Something you know - a password, for example.
  • Something you are - a physical characteristic such as a fingerprint, handprint, voice print or eye pattern.
  • Something you have - typically a token, ID card or pass card.

Deploying a two factor authentication solution can be costly and complex, but the right infrastructure can simplify management and quickly ensure that you are getting return for your investment by enabling more productive users and eliminating security risk. For companies seeking a powerful but affordable solution for deploying two factor authentication, Imprivata offers OneSign® Authentication Management.
