The recent RSA breach has many companies re-examining their use of security tokens for two-factor authentication, particularly after compromised SecurID tokens were used in attacks against major defense contractors Lockheed Martin, L-3 Communications, and Northrup Grumman. RSA has acknowledged that information obtained by hackers has impacted the effectiveness of SecurID tokens in use today – leaving organizations exposed until other measure or replacement tokens can be deployed. PhoneFactor has already begun working with organizations that are looking to quickly shore up their authentication practices in light of the breach.

PhoneFactor can be dropped in as a replacement for SecurID tokens or deployed as an additional layer of security (on top of security tokens) while replacement options are evaluated. To assist organizations, PhoneFactor has launched a Token Replacement Program, which provides credits of up to $5 per token and special assistance for companies migrating to PhoneFactor’s phone-based two-factor platform.

PhoneFactor is uniquely positioned to enable rapid implementation and deployment. For banks, PhoneFactor’s Universal Banking Gateway can be used to roll out PhoneFactor in just weeks. For enterprise, healthcare, and government organizations, PhoneFactor offers off-the-shelf support for a wide range of applications and automated enrollment tools to expedite deployment to their employees.

PhoneFactor also provides out-of-band protection from malware, a better user experience, and a lower total cost of ownership. For many, the incident further validates the growing shift from security tokens to phone-based solutions which offer:

• A Superior User Experience:
  Users simply respond to an automated phone call, text message, or phone app notification from PhoneFactor to confirm logins or verify transactions.
• Significantly Lower Costs:
  With no devices to purchase, provision, replace, renew or support, PhoneFactor costs an average of 50% less than security tokens.
• Stronger Out-of-Band Security:
  Security tokens are vulnerable to malware and man-in-the-middle attacks. PhoneFactor’s out-of-band architecture provides unparalleled protection against these attacks.
