THE SOLUTION
It was recommended a combined solution consisting of Microsoft UAG 2010 for secure VPN access running on an MyID MFA, UAG Appliance, and pattern authentication providing the vital authentication element. “We tried several different VPN solutions, and used token-based systems, but they all proved unsatisfactory. The tokens never lasted very long, and our traders never really took to carrying additional devices.
"It runs ‘locally’ on their phones, which they always have with them, and as the system is independent of the mobile phone networks, it’s more reliable. Also it gives us great confidence knowing that even if a phone is lost or stolen, it’s of no use to anyone else, as they won’t know the user’s secret pattern" explained Jon Cosson Head of IT at JM Finn.
PINs and combinations is what the world has needed for a long time. It’s the enhancement for fixed passwords. One of those simple ideas that makes you wonder why no-one thought of it before. In an environment where lost or flat phones are all too common the pattern authentication 1.5 factor solution has proven invaluable as the user doesn’t need to have anything with them at all.
