How does Tricerion differ from hardware tokens, smart cards and other forms of strong authentication?
Logistical simplicity, usability and cost. Tricerion’s SafeEnterprise requires no more than a simple server-side installation, with minimal integration disruption (but usually accompanied by issuing new passwords), in order to roll out the service enhancement to all an institution’s account holders. The solution is immediately visible to users, alerting them to the institution’s commitment to their security, but users do not require any training or explanation in order to use the new authentication features. All this can be done at a fraction of the cost of issuing hardware security tokens to users. We recognize that some institutions will continue to see a place for tokens (e.g. for high net worth accounts), and may choose to implement a mixed approach, in which Tricerion’s remarkable valuefor-money makes it viable, even for low-net-worth accounts. For this reason, we have ensured that our Strong Authentication technology is complementary to most physical second factor solutions.
