Organizations that provide remote access to authorized users should consider unauthorized access to their internal corporate network as a serious threat, since they may gain access to documents, applications, CRM systems, email servers, etc. Some companies just use standard user ID and password-based authentication mechanism for VPN which make their internal network highly vulnerable to cyber attacks. VPN must be protected using strong authentication such as Two Factor Authentication (2FA) mechanism.
The most popular 2FA solutions are the expensive hardware OTP (one time password) tokens. But are the hardware OTP tokens the best solution to your organization? Among the problems with this solution are the following:
- Extremely expensive because due high cost per token
- Frequent renewals since Tokens are battery-based.
- Additional cost in case of loss or damage to tokens.
- High distribution costs
- No mutual authentication and device authentication
- Minimal scope for customization
InSense provides strong authentication solution that is convenient to use, customizable, and available at just around 20% of the cost of hardware OTP solutions. InSense is a software-based OTP generation and distribution framework for strong authentication. The software token binds itself to the end user’s PC or USB device providing for a combination of authenticated device (PC / USB device) and a unique OTP. The InSense Client and Server establish 100% Man-in-the-Middle attack-proof tunnel for exchange of OTP.
