Symantec Adds VIP Intelligent Authentication Updates for Safer Logins
Symantec has introduced an addition to its cloud-based user authentication service. Symantec’s VIP Intelligent Authentication system uses advanced securities including system fingerprinting, user behavior monitoring and geolocation access monitoring.
Symantec VIP Intelligent Authentication also leverages Symantec’s DeepSight intelligence. The DataFeed assists in identifying high-risk login attempts from suspected malicious sources, and invokes additional out-of-band authentication methods such as an SMS text message, phone call or e-mail to mitigate this risk.
With more organizations using online and mobile channels in end-user delivery,the password approach is not enough, according to Fran Rosch, vice president, Trust Services and Identity Protection, Symantec. ”The new VIP Intelligent Authentication gives organizations one of the most advanced authentication solutions in the market that is delivered as a cost effective cloud-based service and provides end users with a seamless authentication experience,” said Rosch.
VIP Intelligent Authentication leverages devices already equipped with Symantec Endpoint Protection, Norton, or Intel Identity Protection Technology. This service allows organizations to deploy risk-based authentication as well as hardware or software one-time password tokens, mobile OTP tokens and SMS or voice-enabled OTP authentication.
