In today’s business world, security in general - and user authentication in particular
- are critical components in enabling business and protecting sensitive corporate information. By implementing strong user authentication solutions, you enable your
customers, partners, and employees to boost their productivity by using your business applications wherever they are – in the office, at home, or on the road.

In a business world that requires your organization to be compliant with key industry regulations such as HIPAA, FDA, Sarbanes Oxley and Basel II, strong user
authentication is a critical element in protecting information and individuals’ privacy.

Passwords, the primary tool for user authentication, can be easily stolen, lost, shared or cracked. Due to the need to manage multiple passwords and to ensure the
effectiveness of passwords used, organizations have adopted stringent password policies. This has translated into more complex passwords and consequently, made them more difficult to remember. To cope, users are writing their passwords down, compromising the security they were meant to improve.
