Introduction

Protecting access to critical data is a major concern for organisations of all sizes.

Current user authentication and access practices are a leftover from an era when regulatory and consumer pressures were less and business I.T. systems were closed structures with access typically limited to a small number of trusted users working within the perimeter of a physical network.

However now we connect from anywhere, to everyone at anytime and confidence in current access and authentication practices is being eroded by the frequency of accidental data losses and the increasing sophistication of online attacks by organised criminal groups.

Attackers are getting smarter and more organised and are now easily able to defeat simple username and password based security systems.

A recent survey revealed that the most common password in use today is "password" followed closely by "123456".

Poor password practices like these, in particular the reuse of insecure passwords for multiple accounts, allow online attackers with unauthorised access to low level accounts to escalate the attack and gain access to financial information including direct access to online funds with commercial organisations increasingly targeted for online attack and fraudulent wire transfers.

SafeTok is an easy to learn and use, low cost, integrated, multi factor, authentication, access and security solution utilising:

(1) What you know - Username and password.
(2) What you have - A USB pen drive (biometric or non biometric)
(3) Who you are - Fingerprint recognition (biometric only)
(4) Encryption
(5) Anti phishing technology
(6) Online transaction confirmation
(7) User Interface based security awareness training

Layering security factors in this way provides both maximum compliance, flexibility and optimum user acceptance whilst maximising security and minimising workflow friction.

SafeTok provides a completely scalable, low cost, easily deployed all-factor security solution where secure authentication and access is provided along with encryption, anti-phishing, transaction confirmation, and online user training delivered directly to the end user on either a standard or biometric USB pen drive.
Delivering a low cost, modular, integrated, prepackaged solution directly to the end user eliminates most of the end user barriers traditionally associated with deploying strong authentication and access solutions.

SafeTok has a low, per unit cost so return on investment is quick and organisations can deploy as many or as few as are needed.
Deployment is near instantaneous with minimal set up and user training.

Workflow friction causing user inconvenience and resistance is almost completely eliminated.
Auditable security awareness training can be delivered directly to the users desktop at log in.

Additional services such as SafeTok BackUp, SafeTok Secure Drives & Portable Storage, SafeTok Send, InfoShow and SafeTok Workspaces are provided on a convenient and cost effective subscription service and are accessed securely via the users SafeTok biometric device.
