Secure Identity Management and Authentication Tools for Tech Companies

WHY?

Dealing with intellectual property and managing assets on client’s behalf puts exceptionally high standards on security compliance. The cost of a breach under non-disclosure agreement can rise to millions of dollars. That is why IT companies create and adhere to the most comprehensive cyber security policies. Our hardware security tokens Hideez Key 3 and Hideez Key 4 help to eliminate breaches associated with human factor risk and comply with PCI Data Security Standards, GCSx CoCo, HIPAA, SOX.

HOW?

Protect intellectual property

Passwords remain the last mile of defense against intruders and hackers. Credential stuffing, phishing, session hijacking, man-in-the-middle, and malware attacks have impact not only on company’s financial state but also bears reputational risks. It supports, outsourcing, and other high – tech companies suffer from weak or lost password that costs around 3 million dollars per breach in direct cost and countless indirect costs.

Privileged Acess Management

Hideez offers either independent low-cost Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution or a supplement to existing IAM designed specifically for technology companies that automates fast and secure access to online repositories or desktop applications. Deliver the first password, grant or confiscate access to critical infrastructure in a matter of seconds, define physical location, and measure employee productivity with Hideez Enterprise Server.

Two Factor Authentication for IT

Hideez Key operates via encrypted Bluetooth that enables engineers access their local or virtual workstations with the simple tap of a keychain. Since sim swapping is becoming an issue globally, telecom as a second factor cannot be trusted, especially when accessing the projects with more than a million value. Whether its access to local Windows or Linux based systems, or virtual desktops Hideez Key supports mixed device environments.

Testimonials

Being in technology, we know well what User Experience look like. We were skeptical about Hideez Password manager and the 2FA, because we know that users hate it. But it turned out to be as convenient password manager as your daily routine for driving a car. The outsourcing companies service delivery managers and those involved in business development definitely need it.

WHAT?

Hideez offers an all-in-one solution that includes secure password management, desktop MFA, passwordless authentication based on biometric logins or QR codes, and many other features. To better understand this, we’ll take a closer look at the four main components of the Hideez Authentication Service. These are:

Hideez Server

Hideez Server is a FIDO2 / WebAuthn server & SAML 2.0 Identity Provider for managing privileged access, managing remote offices and employees, and controlling their physical access. It delivers passwordless FIDO2 authentication and two-factor authentication in an environment that features many users and workstations, meaning that you obtain strong authentication that doesn’t rely on shared secrets. For example, the Hideez Server allows IT admins to grant or restrict access to bank managers, bank officers, and other staff in a streamlined and secure manner.

Hideez Authenticator

Hideez Authenticator is a handy free mobile app available for both Android and iOS devices. Once employees set it up on their mobile devices, they can utilize the app to conveniently sign in to their accounts or generate one-time QR codes. In other words, the Hideez Authenticator essentially turns the user’s smartphone device into a personal security token. And, as it meets robust authentication standards, users don’t have to worry about any unauthorized access problems or other issues with their accounts.

Hideez Keys

When it comes to ensuring better cybersecurity in IT companies, the Hideez Keys are an optional addition but a very valuable one. Hideez Key 3 and Hideez Key 4 are the best hardware security keys allowing secure password management, 2FA and passwordless authnetication based on FIDO standards, proximity-based authentication and physical access control all at once. They comply with the latest cybersecurity standards and support multiple protocols. With these small devices, employees can obtain added conveniences like managing their passwords, using autofill features, and generating one-time passwords. Moreover, users can also lock or unlock Windows computers using the proximity lock feature and even open RFID door locks.

Hideez Client

The last part of the Hideez Authentication Service, but an equally important one as the previous three, the Hideez Client software for Windows personal computers ensures all of the above features work without a hitch. Like the Hideez Key, this is an optional component of the Hideez Authentication Service. It provides a connection between the keys and the server and ensures secure user credential management.
