SecurICE

In the event of an emergency, many organisations allow remote users to authenticate with a standard username and password. But this is when the need for secure access is at its highest: during emergency situations corporate defences are at their weakest and the threat from attack at its greatest.

SecurICE from SecurEnvoy is a revolutionary approach to the age-old problem of providing secure access to corporate systems in the event of an emergency – without the need for tokens or smartcards.

SecurICE provides clients with the ability to turn on strong, two-factor authentication for all users in the event of an emergency. The user’s existing Microsoft password is the first factor, and a passcode sent to the user’s mobile phone is the second. There is no need for the user to enrol and remember an additional PIN, and no need for extra tokens or smartcards - the perfect emergency two-factor authentication system.

Configurable warning disaster messages along with Passcodes are sent via SMS to an entire organisation or a pre-identified group of users with one click from the SecurEnvoy Deployment Wizard. The end user simply connects to their protected company resource and is prompted for their UserID, Microsoft Windows® Password and Passcode. By pre-sending the first required passcode SecurICE eliminates problems caused by network delays and intermittent signal areas.

If an incorrect Microsoft Windows® password or SMS passcode is entered, a new one is sent to the user’s mobile phone ensuring that a passcode is always available. If more than a set number of failed authentications are entered, the end user is disabled and no new passcodes will be sent. This security measure prevents hackers running brute force attacks.
