Strong Authentication

Oxford Computer Group (OCG) provide services to support the successful deployment and on going management of solutions for Strong Authentication. Our preferred approach is to start each assignment with a workshop, then deploy a proof of concept or pilot and then move on to the full deployment of a well planned solution. In addition to the services, OCG can provide the hardware and software required to deliver a complete solution.

To help you understand the solutions we provide and the technologies involved, we are creating a series of video demonstrations. The first two, which concentrate on Certificate Lifecycle Management, have just been released. If you'd like us to email you when the next video becomes available, click here and complete the email.

It is widely accepted that to mitigate against the risk of compromising single factor based authentication methods, stronger authentication methods are necessary. Given the multitude of scenarios, permutations and usability / security considerations (not to mention vendors and technologies), taking the first steps in planning such a project can seem daunting. A tested and proven approach, which has been invaluable to our customers, is the Discovery Workshop. This short exercise is an effective way to quickly elicit and share information, learn about the solutions available, gain expert guidance and create a business case or plan for moving forward. The Discovery Workshop is a standard component of the Oxford Computer Group methodology and forms the basis of almost every strong authentication project we undertake.
