What is two-factor authentication?

One-touch two factor authenticationMany online web services are protected only by a single password; but within the past year, compromised identities and stolen passwords have exposed weaknesses in this "single-factor" authentication.

Computer criminals targeting the mortgage industry have recently stepped up their attacks. Mortgage loan officers and processors have had their credentials stolen and used to illegally access credit reports using the mortgage company's account. If this happens to you, your ability to pull credit reports could be suspended from all credit reporting vendors. The process of regaining access to credit data once you've experienced a security breach will be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to your business. Some clients have even lost their business.

As a leader in information technology security in the credit reporting industry, Avantus is now able to offer your business added protection from these computer criminals.

Enter two-factor authentication.

USB two-factor authentication key. Small, secure, easy.The two-factor authentication token looks like a small USB memory stick. This thin, light key can be easily carried on a keychain, and can be used by simply plugging the key into any USB port on your computer. After entering the normal username and password, a simple touch of a button on the USB key randomly generates a strong secure one-time token to access the Avantus system. So even if a normal password has been compromised, the criminal cannot access your account without physically possessing the key.

This type of two-factor authentication is already in use in banks, governments, universities, and global enterprises around the world. It works from any computer, platform and browser without the need to install additional software on your computer systems.

What does it cost?

Until recently, two factor authentication solutions were cost prohibitive for everyone except the largest enterprises. Advances in technology now allow Avantus to provide this type of advanced security to everyone. Each USB token can be provided for a nominal one-time fee per user.

Given the potential costs that a security breach can bring, we think you'll agree that two-factor authentication is a wise investment.
