SyferLock, One Time Passwords, and Multi-Factor Authentication

SyferLock Technology Corporation Releases MySyferLock™, an OpenID & Cloud Access Security Solution, Delivering the Most Secure Knowledge Based Authentication System Featuring Device-less, Zero Footprint One Time Passwords for OpenID Users

Sign Up Now! SyferLock's MySyferLock™ system is an OpenID technology where the user still remembers and leverages their existing static password, but when the OpenID user registers using MySyferLock™, the user creates a transparent multi-token authentication scheme that has the user input and transmit their password as a true one time password through MySyferLock's™ patented security grid user interface. Key to MySyferLock™ users is that they now have the option for more secure cloud access - universal access - using device-less, zero footprint one time passwords to login to their favorite OpenID enabled web sites and portals versus using an easily compromised static password. The security, ease, self-service, flexibility and adaptability of MySyferLock™ is unparalleled in the authentication market, and what is available to OpenID users. There now is a more secure gateway to the cloud! Sign Up Now! Read the Press Release

SyferLock! The only Enhanced Authentication Technology that Addresses and Fixes BOTH Passwords and Personal Identification Numbers (PINs)

SyferLock's unparalleled flexibility offers users the ability to take either passwords or PINs and make them one time passwords/PINs without the need of any additional hardware, tokens or client-side software. SyferLock's patented methodology can be customized and fine tuned allowing superior security and cost savings for their users.

Both GridAdvanced™ and Grid2Form/GridPIN™ deliver award winning benefits for both their customers and users:

• Allows you to use existing passwords
• Makes all passwords device-less one time password
• Always on security – from any machine, anywhere
• Complete self service escalating security features to combat key-logging, sniffing, phishing, even continuous screen capture
• Self-service 2 factor authentication capabilities
• Self-service customized UI and languages
• Detailed account monitoring and analysis

SyferLock Technology Corporation Bolsters Its Existing Security Offerings with
Superior 2 Factor Authentication via GridSoftToken™

SyferLock's GridSoftToken™ is a software-based token technology that allows a user to lock their account access to a specific machine or device. GridSoftToken™ is easily installed and self-serviced through SyferLock's Security Center, and once installed delivers organizations superior security through true 2 factor authentication, as well as the added security of one time password/PIN generation added to the existing username and the existing password. GridSoftToken™ delivers true 2 factor authentication, and helps achieve critical security requirements and compliance mandates from such regulations as PCI, FFIEC, SOX, GLB and others.

Where SyferLock and its unique patented technology and methodology are superior, is that the additional critical security benefit of greater “user” authentication is delivered (in addition to device-level authentication) by the use of GridSoftToken™. Where other tokens generate and display the access code, password or PIN in the clear (Figure 2. below), SyferLock's GridSoftToken™ displays a security User Interface that further requires a multi-token, knowledge-based authentication scheme for secure login (Figure 1 below). Lost devices and attempts for unauthorized computer use are further protected by this unique aspect of GridSoftToken™ helping organizations address these security threats as well.

SyferLock Announces the Integration of its GridGuard™ Device-less One Time Password Enhanced Authentication Technology into Cisco's SSL VPN

SyferLock is pleased to announce that users of Cisco SSL VPNs can now secure remote access with SyferLock's GridGuard™ enhanced authentication solution. GridGuard's 3.0 version allows a very secure, flexible, self-service, low cost alternative for one time password generation versus the deployment of costly and cumbersome hardware solutions. Award winning critical security benefits delivered by GridGuard™: Allows you to use existing passwords Makes all passwords device-less one time password Always on security – from any machine, anywhere Complete self service escalating security features to combat key-logging, sniffing, phishing, even continuous screen capture Self-service 2 factor authentication capabilities Self-service customized UI and languages Detailed account monitoring and analysis

SyferLock Announces 3.0! Featuring Self-service 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) Through SyferLock's AutoToken™ Technology & GridKey™

SyferLock now offers deployments and their users the ability to self-service 2FA through its AutoToken™ technology.  GridKey™ is a 2FA feature that allows the user the option to bolster their authentication with an additional layer of security - by sending a one time password (OTP) to either an email account or phone via SMS text message.

Competitively unique to SyferLock is that the GridKey™ will only be generated and delivered AFTER the user applies and completes a deviceless “multi-token” OTP authentication process at their initial login - creating unparalleled secure access. The SyferLock system leverages the user's existing password and it is securely entered as an OTP through SyferLock's patented methodology and security grid UI.

SyferLock Announces New Integration with SAML

GridGuard™ and SAML Integration.... Own Your Own Identity!

SyferLock's GridGuard Servers integration with SAML now provides Internet Single-Sign On (SSO) through a federated identity management system.  Organizations are faced with securing a growing number of access points, including internal and external Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. The challenge is to provide the highest level of security while keeping costs in perspective. With the GridGuard solution, employees will only need to remember one password instead of multiple passwords for each of their applications, and their credentials will be protected by the enhanced security of the GridGuard technology.  The GridGuard server is installed in your company's network and processes all logins into any supported application(s) – SalesForce.com, CentralDesktop, Google Apps and more. The user's ID and password are never passed to the SaaS application nor outside your network.  Therefore, the employees own their identity!

Contact SyferLock today for more information or to deploy the solution as part of your organization's security initiatives.

Utilizing SyferLock’s Approach to Achieve Greater Password Security
and Enhanced Authentication

SyferLock Technology's Grid Data Security solution is the simplest, most secure deviceless one-time password system offered to computer users today.  Users can log in from any computer anywhere, and are still afforded the security and protection of one-time passwords.  Security is achieved without tokens, cell phones, print materials, or other devices.

SyferLock's patented approach and methodology offers increasing levels of security through the use of Decoy Digits™ and additional manipulation of the system (GridAdvanced™).  So even when an attacker can capture ALL of the information during a login attempt, it is still unlikely that he will be able to obtain the user's credentials.  Contact SyferLock for an expanded online demonstration that covers these features.

SyferLock Technology Corporation has released a family of patented products that offers a paradigm shifting approach to passwords and access to computers, networks and the Internet.

Historically, reusable passwords are the weakest authentication method, but remain the most commonly used type of authentication on enterprise networks as well as on the Internet. One Time Passwords (OTPs) are impervious to attacks perpetrated on reusable password systems.

SyferLock Technology Corporation has engineered a secure, authentication system providing device-less, One Time Passwords allowing Users to have a simpler, more secure way to access information.
