The secret is out. Passwords, knowledge-based questions, and other shared secret security measures are no longer strong enough to protect online transactions. Today’s sophisticated attacks often take place without the end user even knowing they’ve been victimized. And as a result, enterprises don’t know when (or if) their networks have been compromised.
So how do you ensure the safety of your online transactions? For more and more organizations, the answer is out-of-band authentication. To learn how your company can benefit from out-of-band authentication, watch this new program now.
Out-of-band authentication is the process where two separate networks work simultaneously to authenticate a user. Out-of-band authentication works well because even if a fraudulent user gains all the security credentials to a user's account, the transaction cannot complete without access to the second authentication network.
But why is out-of-band authentication more effective against sophisticated fraud attempts than classic security measures? And how do you determine the right out-of-band authentication solution for your security needs?
Join Avivah Litan, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst at featured analyst firm, Gartner, Inc., and Peter Tapling, CEO of Authentify, as they examine out-of-band authentication in greater detail, and show you how you can use it to ensure your online transactions are protected against the most advanced security threats, including man-in-the-middle attacks.
Plus, in this program you will learn…
- Exactly why do you need out-of-band authentication
- How you can make a business case for out-of-band authentication and transaction verification
- The advantages of phone-based out-of-band authentication
- Best practices for out-of-band authentication
- And the total cost of ownership for out-of-band authentication
In 2008, over 13 million U.S. adults lost money to identity thieves and fraud. If your responsible for the online security strategy of your company, then check out this new program and learn why out-of-band authentication is so important. Don’t become another statistic. Watch now.
