PassGo extends NC-Pass support for hardware tokens

Whether you require security for your entire z/Series mainframe network, or a single business transaction, NC-Pass Network Security Managers provide a wide range of user authentication and access controls. NC-Pass gives you the ability to authenticate users via any of the leading dynamic password tokens at three levels:

• Network entry
• Application selection
• Business transaction

Resource control systems do not protect your mainframe network. Anyone can enter a network, roam around at will and probe for weaknesses. NC-Pass products extend security defenses from the kernel of the individual mainframe systems to the network periphery so users are validated before they enter the network.

NC-Pass encompasses the latest cryptographic developments in hardware technology and includes support for multiple token types from multiple vendors.

Now, NC-Pass has been further extended to include support for the Defender Go-1 and Go-3 tokens. The Go-1 and Go-3 tokens represent an ultra-portable, strong authentication solution for maximum convenience and user acceptability.

User acceptance of security tools is a crucial factor in guaranteeing the success of any security solution. As an alternative to the risks posed by static passwords, the Go tokens are elegantly designed, affordable user-friendly devices that are quick and efficient to roll-out to users.

Defender Go-1 token

With a simple click, the Go-1 is opened and displays a unique one-time password on a high contrast LCD display. All that the user needs to do is read it and enter it into the Defender prompt, from wherever they happen to be.

The token can be carried in a pocket, around the neck for moving within the company, on a key ring so as not to forget it in the morning or clipped to a belt like a mobile phone.
