Compliance, Brand and Liability Protection:
Since the introduction of SOX and HIPPA, compliance has been catapulted to the forefront of business requirements to justify increased security and identity management projects. With nearly every security product claiming to address compliance, the challenge is to identify which products specifically resolve individual business’ requirements. In today’s world, security and privacy breaches can result in high remediation costs and permanent damage to the image of an organization. naviGO Workstation drastically reduces the risk of such events by strengthening authentication methods used for proving identity prior to securing access to systems and critical information.

Cost Reduction:
Most organizations have separate processes for the issuance and the administration of facility access badges and IT security tokens, resulting in higher costs, duplicated administrative efforts, and increased security risk. naviGO Workstation and naviGO Server software products have streamlined the entire process. Smart cards for facility and IT access can be issued directly from your facility access control system, thereby increasing security and reducing operating costs. The solution leverages your existing resources and equipment and abolishes the need for additional staff and devices.

Accountability:
When a security incident occurs, your organization must quickly identify the culprits. Strong proof of identity and tight integration between security audits are the keys to providing legally enforceable proof of access to facilities, IT systems and information. naviGO Workstation’s ability to enforce two-factor authentication to desktops and networks radically decreases the risk of unauthorized access to desktop and network resources. 

Productivity:
In a typical organization, it’s customary for users to login with a user name and a static password multiple times per day. With smart card authentication, the login experience is extremely fast and is similar to using an ATM or crdeit card (insert your card type your PIN). Contactless and proximity authentication take this one step further with users being able to simply tap-in and tap-out of their logged on sessions. Furthermore, users are far less likely to forget their PIN than a complex password that typically requires changing on a cyclical basis.  With two-factor authentication, the risk of a third party gaining access to the user’s PIN has the same risk as someone finding out their user name and password; however, the attacker must also gain access to the user’s physical token to accomplish access.   

Organizational Efficiency:
As recent regulations have increased the accountability of executives, many businesses are merging their facility and IT security teams into a single organization. naviGO Workstation and naviGO Server software products effortlessly reinforce these efforts, enabling the alignment of processes and technology.

Employee Education:
Impatient users find ways to work around or completely ignore security policies and procedures. With naviGO Workstation, convenience and security are tied together. For example, since a card is required as an employee’s ID badge and is also used to access facilities, employees must maintain their card at all times Removal of a card from the computer’s reader can be programmed to automatically lock the screen and the application and eliminate a risk of a security breach.
