PassGo Desktop Token

PassGo Technologies is releasing a product, the PassGo Desktop Token. This exciting development extends the authentication options available for your mobile users and continues to provide them with the same strong, two-factor authentication that you expect from PassGo.

The PassGo Desktop Token can be installed on a variety of mobile devices. The supported devices are:

• Personal Desktop Assistant (PDA)
• Desktop PC
• Laptop

PassGo provides a number of electronic security devices or tokens which take advantage of the Defender product's security architecture. The Desktop Token is the latest addition to the range. Installing the new Desktop Token software on a PDA, PC or laptop enables a more secure connection between that device and your corporate assets and authenticates the user in the same way as a PassGo hardware token.

When you install the Desktop Token software on your PC or laptop you have the option of storing the token in a local folder, on a USB e-Token or on a removable device such as a USB memory stick. When using a removable device you have the added option of installing the Desktop Tokens software, as well as your personal authentication token, on the device. You are then not dependent on one machine and can run the Desktop Token software from your portable device. These options give you a highly flexible security solution allowing you to authenticate to your corporate assets from any of your PCs.

For supported applications, the PassGo Desktop Token also allows you to choose to authenticate by only having to enter a PIN identity. The challenge/response dialog can be handled automatically by the Defender VPN Integrator. This simplifies the authentication process making it the ultimate in user-friendliness.

When you combine the PassGo Desktop Token with Defender you then have the ideal solution for a wide variety of security applications, including:

• Extranet/Intranet access authentication.
• VPN authentication.
• Secure Remote Access Server (RAS) authentication.
• Secure network logon.
• Email communications.

Any of these applications can be accessed by a single remote PC user, a mobile laptop user, or a roaming PDA user, making it an anywhere, anytime solution for your business.
