There are now many more ways in which we can access the web for both business and personal use - via laptops, handheld devices and remote terminals. Moreover, despite awareness efforts to promote secure password etiquette people naturally default to what is easy - using the same memorable password to access all of their services, whether it is online banking or Facebook.

"We have been using Two-Factor Authentication for a number of years, but needed to improve the capabilities of the solution to include better reporting and administration as well as dramatically increasing the reliance of the service while at the same time reducing cost. Out of all the products we looked at, BlackShield ID came out on top, providing us with the best overall solution that met all of our requirements ”
