Identity and Authentication Solution for a Secured Login

With the rising usage of online services and transactions, whether for shopping, bill payment, social networking, or simple information consumption, incidents of online fraud and identity theft has hit an all-time high. To defend against these security attacks, businesses today are on the lookout for methods to control and manage their firm’s identity and access control. Having over three decades of experience in the information security arena, a Toronto, ON based firm SecureKey, provides identity and authentication solutions for online consumer services, to mitigate security risks. “Organizations, especially insurance providers experience difficulties in authenticating their services; leading to losing their credibility and potentially damaging their brand,” extols Charlie Walton, CEO, SecureKey. Insurance firms today are tasked with granting access to critical information for both their partners and clients. With increasing pressure from competitors, regulatory bodies, and the threat landscape; insurance providers face a number of security risks. “At SecureKey, we provide an identity federation and authentication platform that allows insurance organizations to comply with the numerous security and regulatory requirements,” mentions Watson.

The most common threat vector for both the end-users and providers lies in storing passwords. “Several researches and studies reveal that, as the passwords of old are taking their last bow, most enterprises are in search for advanced security capabilities, to ensure the integrity of their systems and data,” says Walton. Befitting the name, ‘SecureKey,’ securely links their clients ID to trusted devices to eliminate the need to store passwords and helps consumers with the choice, control, and convenience to access the services they require.
