4TRESS Authentication Appliance provides a complete, versatile authentication solution for banks seeking to easily add authentication, from user name and password to a variety of strong authentication mechanisms. 4TRESS Authentication Appliance adds strategic value by giving banks the flexibility to meet current and future needs for a range of user, device and service-channel options.
The appliance shortens the deployment time, allowing banks to confidently bring innovative products and services to market across multiple service channels. Securing lower-cost service channels drives economically profitable growth for adopting institutions.
4TRESS Authentication Appliance supports a layered approach that enables banks to tailor the authentication method (e.g., strong password, knowledge-based data, one-time password (OTP), or public key infrastructure (PKI)) and authenticator (e.g., hardware token, soft token or smart card) to specific user groups and risk levels. By providing a versatile server with an open web services-based API, 4TRESS Authentication Appliance lets organizations respond quickly to new online attacks, evolving business requirements and changing user needs.
� Trusted and secure electronic channels that motivate customers to move to more flexible and lower-cost service channels
� Strong authentication that addresses user demands for convenience and portability, while reducing the cost of fulfillment and management
� Streamlined compliance via a centralized audit trail for customer transactions across channels and products
� The ability to quickly deploy additional layers of security to address new threats
VERSATILE AUTHENTICATION APPLIANCE FOR ONLINE BANKING
As banks enhance online and mobile channels in response to competition and user demand, they must successfully address risks associated with authenticating their customers and employees. Strengthening security and compliance is an on-going challenge. HID Global’s 4TRESS Authentication Appliance gives banks a unique advantage by accelerating the use of strong authentication. This is accomplished by delivering an appliance combining a Hardware Security Module (HSM) and 4TRESS Authentication server all in one, cost-effective solution.
4TRESS® Authentication Appliance for Banking
The product enables banks to use a consistent authentication model across all customer service channels. The solution is designed to maximize authentication versatility, accommodate multiple business units, and scale from thousands to millions of users.
HID Global’s 4TRESS Authentication Appliance provides the following capabilities:
� Support for both user authentica-tion and transaction verification
� A broad choice of strong authen-tication methods based on open standards (e.g. OATH, PKI), as well as proprietary models
� Support for hardware tokens, software tokens, smart cards and out-of-band authentication, using Short Message Service (SMS) or email
� Strong password policies and back up authentication methods, including security questions
� Centralized, tamper evident audit logs for tracking transactions across channels and simplifying compliance
� A highly scalable deployment architecture

Ease of Deployment
4TRESS Authentication Appliance is pre-configured for banks deploying strong authentication. In addition, it is designed to support deployments within the bank's unique systems environment and ensure a secure key generation process. It can also be easily restored or replaced, in case of hardware faults or disaster recovery.
At time of deployment, the Implementation Services team assures proper integration into the bank’s ecosystem. Customers may opt for additional services, such as customizations and integration with Internet and banking platforms.
4TRESS Authentication Appliance can be deployed in a redundant configuration. In this configuration multiple 4TRESS Authentication Appliances connect to the same external Oracle database. By leveraging a bank’s existing Oracle database investment banks can ensure fault tolerance and high-availability for their mission-critical authentication systems.
