Exposing your network to remote users creates a variety of compliance challenges for your IT security team. Passwords can be easily shared, guessed or stolen, and organizations that rely solely on passwords to authenticate identities may not be able to meet compliance standards. As a result, many organizations require a stronger authentication strategy that can reliably prove the identities of mobile and remote users.

Strong Authentication

Most regulations governing the protection of information require organizations to adopt industry best practices regarding privacy and security. Because enabling mobile and remote access increases the risk of unauthorized users viewing or intercepting sensitive information, implementing two-factor authenticationrather than passwords aloneis widely regarded as a best practice. Strong Authentication has been shown to be a reliable method for proving identities, and can provide a solid foundation for meeting compliance requirements.

Through our partnership with RSA Security, BigCity Networks can offer you the best in Strong Authentication.

With over than 20 years of experience in e-security, RSA Secure Mobile and Remote Access solutions allow you to authenticate users with a high degree of confidence. In doing so, your organization can establish the level of accountability for users' actions required to meet relevant audit and compliance requirements for mobile and remote access.

Reducing Compliance Costs

Our combined security solutions also reduce compliance costs related to secure access. Companies can streamline user administration costs by creating a single trusted identity for each external userinformation that can then be leveraged across multiple access methods and applications. Eliminating multiple identities and passwords through strong authentication also reduces costs related to password management and help-desk support.

RSA Security combines a record of leadership in e-security with comprehensive knowledge of the laws and regulations that apply to specific countries and industries. In the US, for example, they’ve helped numerous healthcare organizations comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by implementing strong authentication for remote access. In the European Union (EU), they’ve helped a number of customers implement an identity solution that enables them to comply with EU transportation laws when transporting cargo across national borders.
