Secure Remote Access – 2 Factor Authentication (2FA)
To enhance the corporate secure Remote Access environment, 2-Factor Authentication solutions provide additional security benefits.

The physical loss of a laptop computer or the theft of a user’s credentials can compromise an otherwise Secure Remote Access environment.

Without 2FA, secure remote access could be compromised by what someone knows (credentials). 2FA requires a second information component provided by what you have (token).

In a 2FA environment an authorized user must have both knowledge of the appropriate credentials and possession of the token.

Starnet provides 2 Factor Authentication solutions to customers through our partnership with CryptoCard.

Data Loss Prevention
Many organizations consider their corporate data as their most prized asset. But don’t have any technologies in place to insure that their data never maliciously falls into the wrong hands.

As networks have become more complex and sophisticated, and as technology for transferring, transmitting and storing stolen data have become more inexpensive and pervasive, the ability for organizations to protect their most prized possession has become a difficult undertaking.
