With access to systems available through an ever more diverse range of terminals from PCs and mobile phones through to wireless notebooks and PDAs, organisations must deploy powerful and flexible authentication if they are to guard against electronic intrusion and crime. Contemporary measures include passwords, PINs, handheld tokens, PKI certificates, smart cards and biometrics.

Thales e-Security offers a wide range of solutions for user authentication, allowing systems administrators to deploy secure applications based on sound authentication. With in-house products like WatchWord™ and strong partnerships with third-party token manufacturers, the company can deliver the right authentication solutions for all a customer's secure applications.

And as prevailing risk management rules increasingly demand consolidation of authentication across all business applications, the Thales e-Security SafeSign® architecture provides a single Advanced Authentication platform with simplified integration, consistency of security and reduced operational costs.
