PortalGuard gives administrators authentication security and access control while users gain productivity self-service password capabilities.
PistolStar, Inc., provider of tailored authentication solutions that address usability, security and compliance, now offers stronger authentication, self-service password recovery and password and authentication security features for Microsoft SharePoint and IBM WebSphere and WebSphere Portal. With PortalGuard, PistolStar's new browser-based authentication security software, SharePoint authentication and WebSphere Portal access is simpler and more secure, as users can self-manage their portal password while administrators obtain enhanced access control features that enable them to meet or exceed corporate authentication security objectives and compliance with government and industry regulations.
PortalGuard allows users to perform self-service password reset by responding to multiple, configurable challenge questions. This facilitates the recovery process in a highly secure way, even when users perform self-service password resets from offsite locations or on the road. Also, administrators are able to free up the time and resources used to respond to password change requests.
With PortalGuard's numerous configurable password and authentication security features, administrators can implement processes for stronger and consistently secure SharePoint authentication and WebSphere Portal access, thus preventing unauthorized access and assuring compliance auditors that data is protected. Users can be required to provide their username, portal password and a challenge question response to gain access. Other features provide the ability to perform crucial functions, such as configure the number of strikes for account lockout; limit multiple, concurrent logon sessions; lockout inactive users after 'n' days, validate password strength and apply password strength rules; and audit and record user login activity.
