Strengthen VPN Authentication:
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) are an inexpensive extendion of a company’s network to remote users, thus allowing to connect to your network assets via the Internet secure fashion.

How it Works.
The iKey replaces the traditional Username and Passwords normally used by remote Clients with strong two-factor authentication. Something you have (iKey) and something you know (PIN). So you really can know who is requesting a VPN session, and you can feel confident about opening up your network with valued data.

The iKey prompts the user with a request to insert their iKey (into the USB port) and enter their PIN number. Once a valid PIN is entered the iKey passes stored User Identity and Security Credentials to the VPN server, once these have been validated the VPN session/tunnel is established in the normal way.

Once iKey is integrated the VPN constantly monitors for the presence of the iKey, if it is removed the User has up to 30 seconds to replace it and re-enter the correct User PIN. After 30 seconds if the iKey and PIN have not been successfully entered the VPN session/tunnel is terminated. This session termination provides an extra level of security when the User leaves their VPN workstation unattended preventing someone "unauthorized" from walking up and accessing the network through an open session.

iKey VPN Authentication Kit enhances the security of a VPN by replacing weak Username and Passwords with strong iKey two-factor authentication. Giving you the confidence of knowing who is accessing your network, applications and data remotely and preventing unauthorized access.

Last but far from least, using the iKey can virtually eliminate the constant help desk calls that come in regarding end-user's forgetting their username and passwords. The iKey's simplistic operation makes it as easy for a person to use as an ATM bank card. So acceptance is high. Perhaps best of all is that it reduces IT staff workload, freeing up time and budget for more important projects.
