Introducing Authenticate to ConnectTM
We have developed a new service that radically changes the economics required to prevent fraud and cybercrime by reducing the attack surface of Internet facing services by 50-98% without the overhead of client software, VPNs and traditional Zero Trust architectures.

If you deliver services over the Internet with IdentityPlus, you can:
  • make them impervious to all forms of impersonation attacks
  • make them impervious to any forms of exploits on vulnerabilities in code and configuration by unknown entities
  • have 100% certainty who is accessing your services and stop them in their tracks if they misbehave
  • deploy one solution for all forms of access channels - web, mobile, api, b2b, iot, ...
  • address the skills-gap and staff burn-out by making fraud and security operations hyper-efficient

RE-DEFINE YOUR SECURITY POSTURE

Identity Plus changes the paradigms of access from connect-then-authenticate to authenticate-to-connect. This is not just a game of words. It determines who has the leverage in cybersecurity.


Connect Then Authenticate

When you Connect Then Authenticate none of credentials are attributed to the devices, BOTs or other autonomous software service subscribers use to connect to services. This means that bad actors can steal identities and impersonate legitimate service subscribers using many different techniques.

More than 90% of attacks are independent of authentication - they can be performed without owning or having access to an account, simply by having access to the application and its vulnerabilities. Even with perfect protection against credential theft, less than 10% of attacks can be put under control with Connect Then Authenticate.

Authenticate To ConnectTM

With Authenticate To ConnectTM, authentication is prerequisite to establishing any communication with a service. Exploits against vulnerabilities are dependent on having access to an account. Authentication is also dependant on attributing devices, BOTs and other autonomous software with legitimate service subscribers. Unknown entities can never connect.

Using these principles impersonation attacks and attacks on vulnerabilities become impractical for bad actors. Furthermore if legitimate service subscribers misbehave you can take actions against them with 100% certainty.

Shut Out Cyber Criminals & Only Allow Legitimate Service Subscribers To Connect

Block Bad Bots

You don't need to know which devices are malicious. You know the devices of your customers, business partners and other trusted 3rd parties; everything else can be blocked.

Eliminate The Attack Surface

Every action is 100% attributed. Even if you have vulnerabilities, you'll know which customer, business partners or other trusted 3rd parties is trying to exploit them.

Prevent Layer 7 DDoS Attacks

Unless your customers, business partners and your other trusted 3rd parties are ganging up against your service, distributed does not makes sense. Nobody else can connect.

Zero-Day? Not For You!

These are the vulnerabilities you don't know you have. Well, when the crucial day comes, you will have plenty days to fix them.

BECOME IMPERVIOUS TO EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED FORMS OF IMPERSONATION ATTACKS

Impersonation attacks take many forms leveraging stolen users names and passwords to more sophisticated tactics involving social engineering and the theft of invisible credentials such as session tokens and session cookies.

With Authentication To ConnectTM your services become impervious to all forms of Impersonation Attacks.

MFA Bombing

Attackers hammer the user with MFA validation requests until they accidentally approve or they disable MFA thinking that is's broken

Identity Plus doesn't need a user name or any reference peg to identify the visitor and authentication cannot be triggered on a different device than the one establishing the connection.

EvilProxy Phishing

Attackers lure in users and channel their communication with services using tools like Evilginx or Criminal SaaS like EvilProxy Phishing

Access based on device identity is not vulnerable to MITM attacks as the service identifies the connecting device, which in this case is the man-in-the-middle agent, immediately revealing the fraud.

Authentication Hijacking

Attackers Exploit vulnerabilities in online applicaitons, browsers or extensions to copy the session cookie once the user has logged in using MFA

Identity Plus is the only sign-on/sso/online access solution that is not vulnerable to having the session cookie stolen because it is the only technology that does not rely on cookies to maintain user login status.

DRAMATICALLY CUT THE COST OF CYBERDEFENSES

Connect Then Authenticate

vs.

Authenticate to ConnectTM

With todays paradigm of Connect Then Authenticate we let anyone or thing to connect our services and then give cybersecurity teams the challenge of working out who the bad guys are. This results in a large attack surface that requires large investments in the most advanced methods of detection and response.

With Authenticate To ConnectTM the attack surface is reduced by up to 98%. This dramatically reduces the tools, human resources and processes you need in place to stay safe, freeing up budgets to invest in the development of your business versus fighting cybercrime

SECURE ACCESS FOR AUTOMATION

This is where even the most modern 2FA reaches its limits, and your complexity journey accelerates as they only cover about 17% of the traffic. Stats show that 83% of the Internet (not counting internal) traffic is automated. Already Alexa can do things on your behalf. Human-centric authentication is the past, the future will be dominated by bots. Welcome to the future ...

Secure End-User API For Bots

Imagine your SaaS API customers enrolling their bots with a QR-code scan while you retain the ability to block all unknown bots - as if your SaaS customers were given a VPN into your environment.

Frictionless Business-to-Business

The fully automated, self-provisioning model pioneered by Identity Plus, eliminates the problem of key expiry and removes the need to manage keys, so you never have to open a VPN for any third party, while avoiding hit-and-miss methods like IP White-listing

Unbounded Micro-Services

Our ground-breaking digital identity system treats all machines (devices, software and other digital constructs) as one, so you can secure your micro-services communication, across clouds and even with third parties without having to maintain any added tooling.

Simplify your security stack with one, unified Architecture

Connect Then Authenticate

vs.

Authenticate to ConnectTM

Each user journey requires bespoke solutions, each with specific security tools - web login, 2FA, JWT, PKI management, VPN, IP white list, WAF, bot control, et cetera. All these must work in parallel and interact, often negatively, increasing complexity, cost, while lowering efficiency.

All user journeys converge to a single, unified, protocol. You get rid of a series of niche solutions, and those few that remain will work as a single pipeline. Lean solution, lean team, total control, and the more use cases you on-board, the more efficient and cost effective your solution becomes.

In times of permanent danger, such as wars, people spend their time, energy and resources building and operating defenses and are continually concerned about when the inevitable will happen - a failure in defense... This is the true state of the current cyberspace.

In times of security, people don't build defenses. They spend their time and energy to build a better future. Let's build that cyberspace together. It is actually quite possible.
