You don't have to work for the CIA to have your PC or laptop computer's data targeted by thieves. Identity theft is #1 Internet crime today, and financial fraud is close behind. Your personal and business data is more at risk than ever before.
Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by thinking that data encryption alone is sufficient to keep prying eyes away from your sensitive data. It's not. And if you're depending upon standard password protection schemes to keep you in compliance with the new HIPAA, FDA, Sarbanes Oxley and Basel II regulations, you need to think long and hard.
Passwords can easily be stolen through human carelessness or by powerful cracking software that hammers away until it gains access. Once a PC or laptop believes it's communicating with an authorized user, everything is exposed.
That's the reason why a new generation of user authentication systems exist that are strong enough to be used by the most secret government agencies, yet are affordable enough for any user.
Take the eToken products from Aladdin for example. The Aladdin eToken NG-OTP is a hybrid USB and One-Time Password (OTP) token which provides PKI encryption, digital signing, secure credential storage, and other protection levels, along with OTP technology for virtually foolproof user authentication. Other available Aladdin products provide varying degrees of security including a model which offers on-board RSA 1024-bit and 2048-bit key operations for quick and easy integration into PKI or other security architectures. Applying PKI encryption to your laptop ensures your data is kept for your eyes only even when it is stolen.
In an era where there is no excuse for failing to prevent security breaches, token protection is recognized as state-of-the-art. And when it comes to providing token protection, Aladdin has the magic lamp. |
