Arcot A-OK™ On-Demand

The SaaS Authentication Challenge
Your organization uses SaaS applications to eliminate the headaches associated with installing hardware and software on-site. Unfortunately, most SaaS applications still rely on username and password as their authentication method. With the growing incidence of identity fraud and online attacks that target corporate and personal data, the simple username and password process is not secure enough. According to industry watchers, vulnerability to stolen passwords is a real problem for on-demand applications. Using OTP tokens to solve this problem is an expensive and difficult-to-manage solution.

The Arcot A-OK On-Demand Solution
Arcot A-OK On-Demand is a multi-factor authentication and single sign-on service that can quickly and easily upgrade the security of any username/password sign-on process for organizations using on-demand applications. Arcot A-OK On-Demand adds a transparent layer of security to your authentication process, without changing your user’s sign-on behavior or requiring hardware tokens or cards. With Arcot A-OK On-Demand, only authorized users gain access to your confidential, proprietary, or regulated data. Your users get the added benefit of having one convenient password for logging into all of their web applications. Arcot A-OK On-Demand supports the latest Internet security standards, such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) or OpenID so organizations of any size can deploy this service in minutes.

No Change to User Experience

They are protected behind the scenes, with a strong authentication solution that protects them from phishing, man-in-the-middle, and other internet threats.

One Secure Credential, Unlimited Access
Arcot A-OK On-Demand issues a transparent, secure, software credential, the ArcotID, that is unique to each user. With secure single sign-on your users will have one password that when combined with your ArcotID will allow you to securely access any application that is registered to the A-OK On-Demand Service. The service automatically and securely issues, maintains, and updates the ArcotID and your application passwords. Even if fraudsters steal specific passwords, they cannot gain access because they lack the ArcotID required to connect to applications.
