Bring the Tool for Your External Enterprise to Your Internal Enterprise

Anakam made it a core product to satisfy the ever expanding market for token and card replacement.” Jonas Samuelson, VP of Product Development, Anakam

Anakam developed the Anakam.VPC® VPN Connector in order to make it easier for customers who adopt our platform for their Web-facing large customer needs to expand the deployment to also meet their internal enterprise requirements. Anakam.VPC allows full integration of the Anakam.TFA® Two Factor Authentication platform with enterprise security tools like virtual private networks (VPNs) to secure remote access between external users (employees, business partners, and even customers) and the enterprise computing assets. Anakam.VPC allows for expansion of these security tools to an unserved audience, as well as provides a significant cost reduction for internal users.
Integrated Out-of-Band Challenge
Anakam.VPC® VPN Connector provides interfaces to SSL and IPSec VPNs. SSL, or browser-based VPNs, leverage an interface directly through the Web interface of the SSL VPN products to interact with Anakam.VPC. Anakam.VPC operating in the IPSec mode, secures not only the browser connection, but the IP tunnel of the client machine, leveraging the Anakam.VPC Client which is available for download to all users who want IPSec remote access.
Anakam.VPC VPN Connector works across a wide variety of SSL and IPSec VPN applications and appliances in the enterprise. Anakam.VPC enables the VPN applications and appliances to reach into the Anakam.TFA Two-Factor Authentication toolset and deliver an integrated out-of-band challenge using the enterprise authentication scheme.
A: Two-factor authentication is an authentication process in which the user provides two independent means of identification, one of which is “something you know,” and the other is “something you have” or “something you are.” The “something you know” is typically the combination of a username plus a password. The Anakam Platform achieves the second factor through the use of devices that users already have such as mobile phones, landline phones or something “connected to their physical self” like their biometric voiceprint. None of these items require hardware or software distribution to end users which make it cost effective for large-scale audiences. Anakam.TFA® uses a wide variety of authentication channels to offer a variety of solutions for the strong authentication of your customers. We leverage existing devices such as cell phones, home phones, office phones, voice biometrics, and email to deliver an out-of-band (OOB) expiring one-time passcode (OTP) that confirms that the person possessing the device is the one attempting to access your systems. Our enterprise customers can also use OATH-compliant existing tokens on mobile phones or other devices as well as hard tokens as part of the authentication solution with Anakam.
Q: Why use Two-Factor Authentication for VPNs?A: VPNs give you access to your internal corporate network and all the sensitive information that resides within that network. Providing Two-Factor Authentication for your VPN provides much improved security for granting network access, and safeguards access to vital information from hackers and other malevolent users.
Q: What TFA Passcode Delivery Options do you have with Anakam.VPC™?A: Users have the option to have their one-time passcode delivered via SMS Text Message, email, or Interactive Voice Response. Organizations with a need to transition off legacy token requirements or the desire to maintain some subset of users with hard or soft tokens that do not leverage OOB technology, can have an passcodes sent to those legacy tokens through an OATH-compliant server.
