Core
The core of our
authentication solutions is a set of
technologies that delivers our challenge
response-based tokenless authentication
solutions. These technologies allow us to
deliver a consistent and compelling user
experience across the many different ways the
solutions can be used.It includes the policy
engine that defines and maintains all user
rules. It manages user accounts and provides a
range of administration and operational tools to
ensure that the policies you decide are right
for your organisation are implemented. It’s a
scalable, resilient enterprise-grade
authentication platform.

VPN
Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs) provide secure remote access.
This access requires immensely strong
authentication. VPNs can be configured to use
external RADIUS servers for authentication. The
Swivel Core can pass additional information back
in RADIUS response, so Swivel authentication
products can be integrated very easily.

Web
As the web has grown
exponentially in use, Swivel has developed its
browser-based security in-line, ensuring peace
of mind.Throughout the years, the Swivel
authentication platform has been successfully
deployed to allow tokenless access to sites on
various levels; be it to secure a specific user
area of a site; or allowing secure communication
between enterprises and their customers or
partners (e.g. Outlook Web Access); or in a more
traditional e-commerce or online banking
environment.

Cloud
Every cloud has a
Swivel lining. Or at least, it should. As cloud
computing continues to expand and revolutionise
business, the need to consider security around
cloud applications is evermore paramount. We
have developed a range of cloud options,
including integration with Office 365,
Salesforce.com and Google Docs, ensuring the
same peace of mind when it comes to secure
access to cloud services.

Desktop
We have worked with
personalised desktop environments for many
years; ensuring users have secure and rapid
access to a range of services and applications.
Such an environment is a powerful way of
providing remote access to users. It allows the
users to be presented just the access they need.
Remote access of this kind requires the use of
strong authentication.

SMS
Whilst it can hardly
be considered as ‘cutting edge’, we naturally
have an SMS product for those users without
smartphones. The PINsafe protocol makes SMS a
stronger and more flexible proposition. Our SMS
solution is therefore far more superior to
others in the market.Users receive a randomly
generated security string and then use their PIN
to extract their One Time Code (OTC). This
becomes their authentication credential.

Mobile App
We have developed a
secure mobile app that allows safe delivery of
our security strings directly from the Swivel
server – enabling users to authenticate even
during prolonged lack of network coverage. The
user enters their PIN into the phone and the app
extracts their One Time Code (OTC) for them.
Simple.

Token
Naturally tokenless
solutions are considerably more cost effective
but at Swivel Secure we know that sometimes
tokens are required, which is why the Swivel
platform supports OATH HOTP tokens. Whether you
are a call center that requires two-factor
authentication for PCI compliance but do not
allow mobile phones as a precaution against data
leakage or someone who is looking to reduce
costs and migrate to a tokenless solution but
already have invested in tokens, we can help.
Read More
Telephony
We use telephony by
allowing the Swivel Secure engine to use a voice
channel to authenticate internet use.This
operates in the same way as the standard OTC
extraction process. Either a challenge is
delivered to the user’s phone, with a response
then being entered on the web page; or the
challenge is delivered onscreen, with the
response being entered on the phone. In both
cases, the challenge can be PINsafe or PINless.

Browser
Since Swivel began,
we’ve been innovators in image-based, tokenless
authentication via web browsers – all designed
to protect web pages, Outlook Web Access (OWA)
and SSL VPNs. We have a number such products:
all of which enable a simple and seamless
integration with these technologies; all of
which provide an effective alternative (or
addition) to traditional, vulnerable username &
password authentication.
