Strong Authentication Solution for Microsoft® DirectAccess

Gemalto and Microsoft have teamed up to provide an easy, secure authentication solution that gives users freedom to login from anyplace, anytime, without the need for traditional software client VPN. With Gemalto’s Strong Authentication (SA) Solutions and Microsoft DirectAccess, users can access the corporate network by simply logging in using a smart card or using a one-time password (OTP) provided through a token or smart phone. > Versatile solution to meet your needs Gemalto offers a wide range of strong authentication solutions ranging from OTP through certificate based (PKI) identity solutions. This gives you the flexibility to deliver the right technology to meet the needs of your business and your users. In addition, with Gemalto solutions you have a clear upgrade migration path. You can start with OTP and when the time is right, move to a more secure PKI solution. > Enhance end-user experience With DirectAccess and Gemalto SA Solutions, the connection is always on. Enterprise users no longer need to bother with launching VPN software. Frequently used applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and Office Communicator maintain their connection to the corporate network, so your users’ experience will be the same whether in the office or on the go. One of the most exciting updates with DirectAccess on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 is that your login credentials are cached when you log in and passed through seamlessly to DirectAccess, which eliminates the additional prompts for step-up authentication after login.
