Two-Factor Platform Designed for Integration and Scalability

PhoneFactor Service

PhoneFactor adds a second step to existing authentication processes. The PhoneFactor Agent or Direct SDK sends an SSL request to the cloud-based PhoneFactor Service. The PhoneFactor Service places an automated phone call, sends a text message, or pushes a notification to the PhoneFactor App on the user’s mobile device and processes the results. Finally, it returns success or failure to the application. The PhoneFactor Service is supported by a network of redundant data centers and telecommunications providers to ensure the highest level of availability.

Agent

The PhoneFactor Agent runs within the corporate network. It includes a configuration wizard that guides administrators through the set up process for any applications secured with PhoneFactor, including remote access VPNs, Outlook Web Access, Citrix, Single Sign-On systems, and more. Integration with custom applications and websites is also available using the PhoneFactor Web Services SDK or Universal Web Gateway.

Administrators can manage users, configure authentication settings, and check the status of other Agents on the network using this simple tool. The Agent can also integrate with existing Active Directory or LDAP servers for centralized user provisioning and management. Redundant synchronized Agents ensure high availability and fail over. All user data is stored within the corporate network for additional security. Extensive logging is available for reporting and auditing.

Direct SDK

Instead of using the Agent to secure applications and manage users, the PhoneFactor Direct SDK offers integration with virtually any web application, and includes web plug-ins for .NET, Java, PHP, Ruby, and Perl, among others. The Direct SDK can be used to integrate into a website’s existing login or transaction processes and leverages the site’s existing user database.

User Portal

The User Portal is installed within the corporate network and allows users to complete the PhoneFactor enrollment process and manage user settings, such as phone number and PIN, through a simple web interface. Administrative capabilities are also available to enable help desk staff to provide user support.

Online Management Portal

The web-based management portal allows administrators to manage company-wide settings and view centralized usage reports. A robust reporting engine provides detailed and summary views of usage. Reports can be scheduled and emailed directly to IT administrators.
