ARE YOUR EMPLOYEES THE WEAKEST LINK
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR DATA SECURITY?
Data security has always been a hot topic, but things got even
hotter last year thanks to the GDPR. Despite new legislation and
hefty fines, breaches continue to be a daily occurrence.
Businesses invest significant time and money implementing
sophisticated security measures, but sometimes it’s basic human
error that can result in a costly breach.
We all know the importance of creating and
protecting complex passwords, but with
the average person needing to remember
around 20 account passwords per day, it’s no
surprise that corners get cut and mistakes
are made.
Passwords get written down, shared,
simplified. Workstations get left unlocked
when someone just ‘nips’ to the photocopier
to grab something, only to be abducted into
an impromptu meeting. Our intentions are
good, and we don’t mean to put valuable
company information at risk, but it happens
and the ramifications of a data breach go
beyond a monetary fine. Business disruption,
reputational damage, staff and customer
churn…
Break free from insecure practices and
move beyond passwords with GateKeeper
Enterprise
Cardwave has launched GateKeeper
Enterprise to the UK market helping
businesses to break free from insecure
practices and move beyond passwords with
GateKeeper Enterprise.
GateKeeper Enterprise brings security
and convenience to employees by using
wireless keys to simplify the login process,
remove the need to remember complex
passwords, and enable access to computers
and websites based on their physical
presence.
Furthermore, the GateKeeper Enterprise
wireless authentication system allows
organisations to enhance workflow and
achieve higher levels of security without
inconveniencing the user.
From 5 workstations to 5,000, GateKeeper
Enterprise provides pain-free, centralised
management of every person, password, and
computer on your network.
Features and benefits of GateKeeper
Enterprise include:
• Wireless auto lock and unlock
• 2-factor authentication
• Military grade AES-256 encryption
• Centralised password management
• Eliminates internal breaches
• Easy installation and support
• Audit logs and reporting
• Increase user productivity
We’ve all experienced the frustration of
needing to quickly access a document or
some data, only to be scuppered by a bout
of ‘fat-finger’ syndrome or an inability to
remember a password that you’ve entered
a million times already. And if you’re really
unlucky after numerous failed password
attempts, you’ll be locked out of the system
and end up in a queue waiting for assistance
from IT support. With GateKeeper Enterprise
your workstation automatically unlocks as
you approach, and locks again as you move
out of range.
All GateKeeper Enterprise users can be
managed via the Enterprise Hub, through
which security policies can be deployed,
access rights managed, and usage tracked
and audited.
