Instead of typing a user name and password, Watchdog Enterprise allows users to log on to their workstations, commonly accessed programs, and websites with their Factor4™ biocard, a biometrically secured RFID smartcard.

Windows Network Log-on

• Create multiple log-on profiles to access various networks
• Password synchronization
• Initiate programs such as email after valid authentication
• Remote access: cache credentials to operate in laptop mode
• No changes to existing network infrastructure required
• Easily deployable to clients using SMS, Group policy, or other deployment software

Single Sign-On

• Websites and applications
• Easy-to-use record functionality
• Pre-configured website and application log-ons
• Auto-fill log-on information when launching applications
• Log-on information stored on card or on server

User Self-enrollment

• Upon first use, the cardholder presents card to reader and is prompted to enter identification information such as network user name/password, employee ID number, address, etc.  The card is then registered with the server and issued with no administrator interaction.
• End users who lose a card can re-enroll a replacement themselves (if permitted) using their access profile stored on the server.

Card Management

• Employee data can be imported from HR databases or Active Directory.
• Administrators can manage profiles using groups such as Managers, Engineers, Sales, etc.
• Administrators control which employees are allowed to self-enroll or self-re-enroll.
• Cards can be easily recycled (contents cleared and card license made available), should an employee leave.

Security

• On-card data is protected by 3DES encryption.
• Client-server communication is encrypted to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Card-to-PC communications (wireless) are encrypted to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Data can be stored on the card if log-on information cannot be transmitted over the network.
• All software and data on the card are destroyed if physical tampering is detected.
