White Paper: Identite

This white paper explores Full Duplex Authentication®, a cutting-edge security technology designed to address the escalating threats of phishing, browser-in-browser and rogue proxy attacks. To lay the foundation for understanding Full Duplex Authentication®, we will first explore the nature of these cyber threats and then detail the innovative approach of U.S. Patent 11,245,526. Introduction Online security is paramount as cyber threats evolve in today's digital landscape. Phishing, browser-in-browser and rogue proxy attacks have replaced sophisticated methods by which malicious actors attempt to compromise user credentials and sensitive information. Full Duplex Authentication® is proving to be a robust solution to counter these threats. What is Authentication? Authentication is the process of verifying an online digital identity. When a person is associated with a digital identity, they are asked to provide credentials that they are who they assert themselves to be. Three standard methods of validation: • The first method is something a user knows, such as a password, a personal identification number (PIN), or a one-time passcode (OTP). • The second method is something a user normally has, e.g. a registered device, a digital token on that device or a specific hardware device such as a Yubikey. • The third method is something that is a user, namely a biometric feature such as facial recognition or fingerprint. If a user performs more than one action for verification, this is known as multi-factor authentication (MFA). To ensure the highest level of security when authenticating a digital identity, all three validation methods should be performed each time a user authenticates to a system or service.

White Paper: AXONIUS

What Do We Mean by “IT Asset Management”? When we look at what has been traditionally called “IT Asset Management”, we’re referring to a set of practices surrounding the financial, inventory, contractual, and lifecycle management of an IT asset. In this case, an “IT asset” is really any device or cloud instance that is used for business purposes. Some of the responsibilities of an IT Asset Management program would include: 1. Inventory – Getting a detailed inventory of all hardware, software, and network assets 2. License Management – Making sure that all assets are running properly licensed software 3. Lifecycle Management – Deciding which assets should be decommissioned and managing the software licenses on these assets and updating the inventory Using the traditional definition, IT Asset Management would fall squarely in the hands of the IT and Desktop Support teams. However, the process of gathering data about every asset and understanding what software is running is critical and foundational to cybersecurity. In this paper, we’ll look at what we call “Cybersecurity Asset Management” or the process of: 1. Gathering data from any source that provides detailed information about assets 2. Correlating that data to produce a view of every asset and what is on it 3. Continually validating every asset’s adherence to the overall security policy 4. Creating automatic, triggered actions whenever an asset deviates from the policy In this context, Cybersecurity Asset Management or “Modern Asset Management” becomes the nexus for cybersecurity projects and decisions.
