The Problem
Computer security today faces a large problem. As security increases, so does the difficulty for an authorized user to gain access. Add to that the issues of forgotten passwords, lost smart cards, and breached data, and the difficulty of keeping data truly secure becomes clear.
The Solution
Axis provides true security with complete user convenience. Here’s how:
First, Axis uses two types of user authentication: biometric and cryptographic. Each ID device is configured for just one user, with sophisticated biometric protocols. Once these are in place, cryptographic authentication allows the user access to other devices through an exchange of credentials.
Second, Axis has two types of proximity detection: user presence and resource presence. The ID device works only when it’s in close proximity to both its designated user and a digital resource, like a computer terminal or kiosk.
The result is fast and easy access for authorized users, and when the user walks away, the information disappears from the screen and is untraceable.
True Security
If verification is unsuccessful or the authorized user is separated from the ID device, the ID device disables itself.
Unlike passwords and smartcards, the ID device is truly secure. If it’s lost, or stolen, or left behind at a remote terminal—it stops working, and the information it accessed vanishes. Users are fully accountable, since access to data is possible only with their knowledge and permission.
The Problem
Mobile computing today is limited by bulky peripherals, security headaches and compatibility issues. Attempts to overcome these barriers have produced miniature screens and input mechanisms that frustrate the user.
The Solution
Axis gives you access to your digital information when you're away from your computer without the need for carrying bulky devices or using small interfaces.
From an Axis enabled terminal, users can be anywhere and still have access to their data They can create, delete, and edit just as they would at their primary workstation, using their own desktop and preferences.
Weightless Mobility
With Axis, you have convenient access to your digital information when you’re away from your computer, and can securely put that information to work.
Be free to watch a movie you downloaded on your home computer… from a hotel room a thousand miles away. Make a video presentation in a conference room using files stored in your office across town. Free to print material just about anywhere, listen to a podcast, or play music from your hard drive on your car's audio system.
True Flexibility
Axis seamlessly integrates with many different types of devices, making it truly flexible.
Axis operates with existing security, remote desktop and biometric technologies, allowing it to be quickly implemented and highly configurable.
The ID Device can be any small personal device such as a smart phone, or a computer chip in a watch, bracelet or any commonly worn item.
A wide variety of devices can serve as an Axis-enabled remote terminal, including desktop and laptop computers, handheld devices, car computers, ATMs, and point of sale devices at merchant locations.
