Comsign's OTP solution integrates two advanced protection mechanisms: one-time passwords and multi-factor authentication. This empowers organizations to significantly enhance information security, providing corporate users with secure, easy, and fast access from any location at any time. The solution effectively prevents identity theft and ransom attacks and safeguards sensitive corporate information.
One-Time Password and its Advantages
A One-Time Password (OTP) is temporary and valid for a single, exclusive connection to the system. The password is customized and preset to be valid for 30–60 seconds only.
This stands in complete contrast to traditional passwords, which are permanent, reusable, and susceptible to theft for malicious purposes. Countless cyberattacks are rooted in password theft, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive corporate information.
A One-Time Password aids organizations in preventing identity and password theft, ensuring secure access to data, servers, applications, and organizational systems at any time and from anywhere.
Comsign Authentication
Password generator for corporate information security
In addition to the One-Time Password mechanism, Comsign's password generator also incorporates a Multi-Factor Authentication protection mechanism.
Authentication with 2 or more factors adds additional layers of protection, significantly enhancing organizational information security and safeguarding sensitive organizational information.
Access requires multiple components instead of just a password:
A unique physical hardware component
A unique code to access the interface
A temporary and one-time password
The password generator includes:
Physical hardware component (Hard Token): a small device displaying the One-Time Password on the screen.
Software (Soft Token): an application generating the one-time password. Available for download on Google Play and the App Store.
The One-Time Password is presented to the user in one of the following ways:
Voice message (IVR): a phone call that reads the password
SMS message
Displayed on the physical hardware component
Displayed in the app
