CRYPTO-MAS is a managed service that provides positive identification of network users for companies that do not have the desire or resources to manage it themselves. CRYPTO-MAS customers receive a strong positive identification solution without requiring the expertise or extra costs associated with implementing and managing a solution and the associated infrastructure. CRYPTOCard is the only two-factor authentication developer to offer this managed solution.
- Positive identification of users without having to implement and manage the solution.
- Quick and easy to implement: no new hardware or software to install.
- Low cost & reduced technical burden.
- Auditability and standards compliance.
- Scaleable: 5 – 50,000+ users.
- Flexible: Mix & match authentication.
CRYPTO-MAS offers the strongest two-factor authentication with the core capabilities provided by CRYPTO-Shield in a managed service:
- Positive identification of users based on two factors, an authentication token and a PIN.
- Encryption algorithms as strong as AES 256.
- One-time password as strong as 8 character Base64 –the most secure type of password available.
- OTPs providing protection against shoulder surfing, social engineering, phishing and other forms of password theft.
- Reduced help desk calls due to lost or forgotten passwords, mandatory password complexity and password expiry.
CRYPTO-MAS requires no additional investment in infrastructure, nor does it require your employees to learn additional technical skills. Once registered to MAS, you can be up and running with a secure, reliable, strong authentication mechanism in a matter of hours.
Because you are not purchasing any software or servers to implement your authentication solution, your up-front costs are significantly reduced. CRYPTOCard offers the CRYPTOMAS service for an annual user-based service fee, which means it can be funded out of operating expenses rather than capital expenses. This provides predictability in your expenditures and scalability as you grow.
CRYPTOCard’s Service Level Agreement provides you with the protection of a high level of service, without the requirement of staffing a help desk with technically sophisticated employees. The Service Desk is available to provide advice, answers, and assistance in planning, implementing, and managing your CRYPTOCard authentication service.
CRYPTO-MAS is hosted in a Class A data centre with high availability and redundancy, at no extra cost to you. To duplicate this level of service with an in-house solution could be very costly.
CRYPTOCard’s Managed Authentication Portal (CRYPTO-MAP) provides a secure, easy-to-use interface for provisioning users, assigning tokens and other administrative tasks. From this user-friendly interface you can manage users and tokens yourself without having to contact CRYPTOCard.
