Defender Active Directory Edition (ADE)
Defender ADE provides all the security features
of Defender Classic but is now registered with
Microsoft’s AD schema to provide a fully
managed solution using LDAP compliant user management
from Microsoft.
Additionally, The radius pass-through capability
enable ADE to chain to other security servers
eg RSA’s ACE to enable corporations to migrate
from high cost tokens to Defender’s wider
range and more cost effective user tokens.
Clients are not tied into tokens with limited
licences. A wide variety of tokens are available
with unlimited licences. A choice of hardware,
software, electronic or mobile phone tokens can
be used and all managed from within Active Directory.
Defender ADE’s minimum secure architecture
reduces administration costs, it reduces support
costs, it reduces training costs, it reduces on-going
costs compared to RSA and it gives you the choice
of leading brand tokens without tying you into
one particular vendor.
Defender Classical Security Server
The password problem is not a new one. Static
passwords are easily guessed, shared or cracked
by others. As a result, traditional static IDs
and passwords have been proven to be inadequate
for uniquely authenticating users. And when users
are forced to regularly change their passwords,
they often select passwords that are easily known
and compromised. Because users tend to have many
passwords to remember, they write them down and
make them even more vulnerable to compromise.
Defender solves this dilemma by providing two-factor
authentication, which uniquely authenticates users
without forcing them to remember another new password.
For enterprises needing highly scalable user authentication
in dial-up, VPN, firewall, or other remote access
environments supporting RADIUS® , Defender
is a standards-based, strong two-factor authentication
security solution.
Defender uses standards-based challenge/response
technology to create a one-time password that
is far more secure than static passwords. Its
easy-to-use software, hardware and e-tokens compute
this one-time password when challenged by the
Defender Security Server. Then, without the authorised
user's unique token and PIN to activate the token,
potential intruders cannot compute the one-time
password. Even if the password is captured, it
doesn't pose a threat because the password is
never
valid again.
