Oracle
Access Manager

The most common way for users to authenticate with Oracle Access Manager (OAM) is with simple usernames and passwords. Unfortunately, simple usernames and passwords are the weak link in any identity management strategy.

Easily cracked or stolen, simple usernames and passwords invite identity fraud. Compromised user credentials enable criminals to gain access to your critical network resources by masquerading as legitimate users. Simple usernames and passwords also fail to satisfy many industry best practices and regulatory guidelines for protecting user identities.

Arcot provides authentication solutions that integrate seamlessly with your OAM applications. Arcot enhances their security by adding risk-based authentication and strong authentication to prevent identity theft and fraud. We eliminate the risks posed by using simple usernames and passwords to authenticate your users.

RiskFort and WebFort are software-only authentication solutions that protect and verify the identities of your users. RiskFort detects online fraud automatically, and WebFort prevents identity theft and fraud. Arcot provides hardware-strength protection of your users' identities while keeping the ease of use of a password.

Arcot's Versatile Authentication allows you to apply dynamically the appropriate level of authentication to different groups of users, based on policies, privileges, and risk profile. It also enables you to achieve regulatory compliance where you need stronger authentication than simple username/passwords, such as FFIEC guidelines.

Arcot allows you to upgrade users quickly and easily to layered authentication, without changing their familiar username/password login process. Arcot's software-only solutions eliminate the need for expensive tokens or cards. Users keep their familiar login process while Arcot transparently protects and verifies their identity. Arcot offers the right balance of cost, convenience, and strength for your OAM users. .
