SecureAuth Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP)

摘要

The SecureAuth Identity Enforcement Platform, or IEP, is a full-featured multifactor authentication appliance. This product leverages an already existing Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) structure to add multifactor authentication to a host of services and applications. IEP uses its Versatile Authentication Solution (VAS) service to integrate single sign-on and identity management services for cloud-based, web-based, virtual private network (VPN), and mobile resources. This product can easily add strong authentication to the enterprise using a combination of certificates; one-time passwords that can be delivered via SMS text, by phone or by email; and personal identification numbers. This solution can be deployed in several ways. Customers can choose from a physical, virtual or a cloud-based appliance. For our evaluation, we looked at the physical appliance, and we found deployment to be quite straightforward. The device comes preloaded with a copy of Windows Server and all the software needed. After a short setup process, the appliance is up and running. All management can be done on the appliance itself through a shortcut or through the web-based management console. We found this to be easy to navigate thanks to its intuitive and organized layout.
