ID Control adds login protection to Exact Synergy

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 11, 2009 – Sensitive information can now be securely exchanged to the right persons, who are really who they proclaim to be, such as with access to annual profit and loss and income statements, electronic invoices from enterprises and annual statements from accountants and sensitive customer data. A lot of organizations that operate online, offer their clients, partners, suppliers or employees access to private or sensitive online services and information or let them perform transactions. Exact Synergy uses the browser on a workstation to access the central Exact Synergy server remotely over the company’s network or internet. Users need to authenticate themselves when accessing Exact Synergy. By default this is done with only a user name and password, which is a relatively weak authentication mechanism. ID Control empowers the authentication procedure by providing strong authentication tokens with dynamic passwords on your mobile phone or on a hardware token. Next to One Time Password authentication the user’s typing behaviour can be recognized during log-in and even the legal binding digital signature can be used to sign-on to a transaction or access. ID Control’s solutions are affordable and very user-friendly and available for online Exact applications but also for web based email and other services such as VPN, network and remote desktop access.

Hans Kortekaas, CEO of ID Control, says that unauthorized access is probably the most significant vulnerability to your business-critical Exact Synergy environment. This can put the availability of your Exact solutions, the confidentiality of business data inside Exact, and your entire business activity at risk. And it also exposes your company and its management to potential compliance issues with regulations and data privacy laws. Controlling the identity and access of the users to online ERP applications are ranked high in priority on the list of security measures nowadays. With ID Control in place, confidentiality, integrity, and proof of origin of any communication within the online Exact environment can be ensured.
ID Control, www.idcontrol.com located in The Hague, provides strong and easy authentication tokens and unified authentication management.
