Thwart Man-in-the-Middle
Let’s face it; most of your users aren’t security experts. They can fall prey to sophisticated attacks by hackers from home or on the road. Hackers breaking into a home router or hotel business center PC can hide the fact users are no longer connected to a trustworthy network. Stopping Man-in-the-Middle attacks can’t be left to the user. Authenticating users must be verified on a secure communications connection. Sovay Server thwarts Man-in-the-Middle attacks adding another level trust over encrypted connections.
Identify, Identify, Identify
Remote, high assurance human identification can only be performed over a trustworthy connection. Biometrics transmitted over a trusted connection can provide real-time human identification if replay is defeated. Re-verifying last week’s recording only verifies that last week’s verification worked. In fact, any static data that can be passed from one party to another does NOT identify a person in real-time; it identifies a credential that may have been lost, stolen or copied. Sovay Server thwarts replay enabling biometrics to provide real-time human identification.
Take Control of Enrollment Data
The security industry is growing at an unprecedented pace, with new technology and advancements announced weekly. With so many new players entering the market each year, it’s tough to predict the winner’s circle for next year. Taking control of your biometrics enrollment data will provide you the flexibility to enroll users in a different vendor’s product automatically, conduct parallel testing and let users authenticate based on one or the other. Sovay Server manages enrollment data and provides adapters to popular biometrics engines and sophisticated multi-vendor scoring.
Integrate Best-of-Breed and Legacy Technologies
Veritrix is committed to offering the best available products as part of a single call for authentication. With Sovay, changing authentication methods doesn’t mean changing your applications. The same single call interface authenticates users whether it’s password, Strong or Multichannel Multifactor Authentication. You can get the latest biometrics installed side-by-side with legacy methods without requiring users to re-enroll. The flexibility offered by the Sovay Scoring will allow you to conduct live tests of new technology without any impact on the strength of authentication; just execute with the new engine, but don’t count it until it’s tuned the way you like.
Single Portal Access Management Solution
Sovay Server can be installed as a single portal to authenticate all of your applications supporting a wide range of methods. Among others, the portal can be configured to simultaneously implement password, token, strong and Multichannel, Multifactor Authentication. Acting as a “portal-in-the-middle” the server can provide higher assurance authentication ahead of legacy methods. Sovay Server can also sit side-by-side with your existing authentication solutions behind the firewall and be configured to protect critical applications. The diverse implementations will allow you to manage resources while you implement the highest assurance authentication across the enterprise.
Single-call Step-up Authentication
Sovay Server provides the best in step-up authentication. Your users can authenticate into applications using conventional means or the highest assurance method available. Every authentication is evaluated based on application requirements, context and available equipment. Once authenticated, if an application requires a step-up authentication, it simply asks the Sovay Authentication Token. Using the Sovay system, your users won’t be bothered every minute. Configured as recommended, many step-up requests do not result in a user re-authentication. Sovay can provide a consistent authentication experience, high assurance identification and no-hassle step-up simultaneously.
