v-GO SSO is a proven
Enterprise Single Sign-On solution that works with all of your
applications, without a lengthy and complex implementation effort.
Whether you are
deploying strong authentication, implementing an enterprise-wide
identity management initiative or simply focusing on the sign-on
challenges
of a specific group of users, v-GO SSO's architecture supports
your technical requirements and computing environment.
v-GO SSO's patented client-side software
enables it to recognise and respond to password requests from almost
any system or application. v-GO SSO supports any type of user authentication
from password to smart cards to biometrics, and can store user credentials
and its own system settings and policies in any LDAP directory or one
of several SQL databases. The administration console simplifies administration
by automatically recognising and configuring applications for sign-on
with minimal effort by the administrator. Enterprise users gain sub-second
single sign-on while connected or disconnected to the corporate network,
while roaming between computers, or while sharing a kiosk with multiple
users.
Proven Single
Sign-On
The biggest user complaint with computers
is "passwords" and one of the biggest security weaknesses in computer
networks is poor password selection and management by end-users. A solution
for unified authentication and application sign-on has been seen as the
holy grail of both user convenience and computer security. With v-GO
SSO, users authenticate once, and v-GO SSO does the rest. It detects
and responds to all password-related events to automate every password
management task for the end-user, including logon, password selection,
password change and password reset. v-GO SSO delivers single sign-on
for all your Windows®, Web, JAVA™, Unix Telnet, in-house developed
and host-based mainframe applications.
Secure
Password Management
Because it automatically manages passwords, v-GO SSO can eliminate
the tendency of employees to write their passwords down on
sticky notes or store them in
their PDA. Weak and stale passwords can be a thing of the past when v-GO
SSO is configured to enforce strict password policies, even
for applications that
do not enforce it themselves. v-GO SSO keeps passwords and related data
protected wherever they are located, in your directory, in
transit from the directory
to the client, in client local disk cache and in client memory. v-GO SSO
uses the strongest cryptography available, including TripleDES
and AES. v-GO SSO's
FIPS 140-2 compliance helps financial institutions, government agencies,
healthcare and other organisations comply with the stringent
privacy and security regulations
that govern their operations.
High
Performance
In both client/server and terminal services environments v-GO
SSO delivers uncompromising speed while consuming minimal resources.
It can logon to any
application, including industry-specific applications, in less than one
second. With its very small memory footprint - typically less
than 1MB and event-specific
resource use, v-GO SSO's impact on both the client and the network is minimal;
additional hardware or software is not required.
Very
Easy Deployment
Implementing and managing v-GO SSO is made simple with its graphical administrative
console, superior directory integration and easily deployable client-side software.
Point and click wizards walk an administrator through all the tasks of configuration,
deployment and administration. v-GO SSO ships pre-configured for most popular
applications right out of the box. The administrative console has built-in
intelligence to automatically configure v-GO SSO for applications it has never
seen before with almost no involvement by the administrator - no scripting,
no programming, no integration. Configuring the central repository or directory
is simple because v-GO SSO utilises the one already installed. Your network
administrator can deploy v-GO SSO from a central location using any software
distribution system, without having to add any hardware or software to the
network and without having to involve end-users in the installation process.
Quick Payback
and High ROI
In most organisations, employees must remember from 5 to 30 passwords and are
required to change some of them as often as every 30 days. It may be difficult
to see the time wasted entering, changing, writing down, forgetting and resetting
passwords because it it lost in small, but frequent, increments, but it all
adds up to a significant consumption or employee time. Productivity losses
are not limited to just your users. Companies with mulitiple password-secured
systems often attribute 20% or more of their help desk calls to employees'
difficulties with passwords. For a 10,000 person organisation, that's millions
of pounds annually and tens or hundreds of thousands per month. By automating
sign-on and eliminating users' need to manage passwords, v-GO SSO significantly
reduces help desk costs and enables you to recover the lost productivity. The
ability to quickly implement v-GO SSO and cut help desk costs makes it possible
for organisations to recover the cost of the software in months, not years,
while generating a Return on Investment well in excess of 100%.
