ActivIdentity cloud security product targets banks

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

ActivIdentity has added a fraud detection service and authentication capabilities to its 4TRESS Authentication Appliance. Targeted to the banking industry, 4TRESS offers multi-layered strong authentication for both network and cloud services.

4TRESS provides real-time fraud prevention and helps banks protect themselves against cyber attacks and meet FFIEC regulations. It delivers two-factor authentication through a device ID coupled with a user password or PIN. Banks can define further FFIEC-compliant authentication policies should anomalies be detected on the device.


The appliance also has more than 15 FFIEC-compliant multi-factor authentication methods to enable banks to provide extra device profiling while maintaining transparency and a secure environment for online transactions.

Banks can add an Out of Band transaction-level verification for large transactions. Other supported authentication methods include Web, mobile and PC soft tokens. [end]
