Entrust IdentityGuard
is an open, risk-based strong authentication platform that enables you
to layer security across your diverse users, transactions and
applications. It enables you to apply the right level of authentication
tailored to the risk associated with the connectivity and actions that
a user is performing.
Single-factor authentication, such as a username/password is generally thought not strong enough to defend on-line organisations and their customers against identity-related attacks.
Account hijacking through phishing are amongst the world's fastest-growing crimes. Identity theft and online fraud are growing problems for both customers and corporate brands, and the damages can be devastating.
Risk assessment requires that more online transactions use a layered approach to authentication, matching authentication to risk and reducing the impact on users.

appropriate authentication method to match a particular transaction's
risk. An organisation can layer open multi-factor authentication
methods - including physical two-factor authentication and mutual
authentication - across different users and transaction types. Perform
the level of authentication required to respond to rising threat
levels, while reducing the impact on the user experience and managing
limited security budgets.
