AUTHENTICATION 

Every day, two-factor authentication - ATM style identification combining the use of something you know (a password) with something you have (a token) - proves itself to be an essential part of broad-based information security systems, mitigating multiple threats, and protecting identities and information assets. While never claiming to be information security's silver bullet, strong two-factor authentication plays a crucial role in protecting vital data.

In the fight against Internet crime, the static password is the user's worst enemy. Two-factor authentication eliminates the risk of most phishing attacks, which rely on the mass harvesting of identity and account information for "replay" later. Two-factor authentication also prevents user impersonation through guessed passwords or with passwords harvested from other sites - a prominent issue today as users struggle to manage multiple passwords across various online accounts.

Strong two-factor authentication has proven itself to be a highly effective means of protecting corporations and individuals from a multitude of cybercrimes, in both business-to-business and consumer applications.
