SafeTelework.com: The Secure Alternative to GoToMyPC

PATENTED, GOVERNMENT-APPROVED SECURITY

These days, a password just isn't enough to protect you anymore. You need a unique second step in the authentication process to keep today's sophisticated hacking and phishing attacks from compromising your information. This multi-step authentication process is known as "2-factor authentication".

Unlike offerings with seemingly similar capabilities, In-a-Flash is the only commercial service that enforces true 2-factor authentication of users 100% of the time. This is especially important for people that handle sensitive personal information, like doctors, lawyers, and accountants.

Real Security: True 2-Factor Authentication

These days, without 2-factor authentication, you're just not safe. Combined with government approved 256-bit AES encryption of all network traffic, the In-a-Flash service provides the most secure information access and sharing capability available, perfect for secure telework and telecommuting.

In fact, 2-factor user authentication is so important, the US Government recently mandated its use across all Federal agencies when accessing data remotely (OMB Memorandum M-06-16).

To generate discussion and maintain a focus on this crucial element of online security, we maintain a blog devoted to these issues.

Something You Have + Something Your Know

2-factor authentication works just like your ATM card to verify your identity in two ways -- something you know (your PIN) and something you have (your ATM card). When you use remote access products without true 2-factor authentication, an attacker merely has to steal or guess your PIN and they can steal your personal files, financial information, and account numbers. It's just too easy to steal, guess, or otherwise obtain someone's email address and password combination, as discussed in this recent Dateline report. In fact, while using Google for some market research, In-a-Flash team members came across numerous documents containing login information for services like GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, and others.

This lack of true security is one of the reasons that many corporations and government entities have banned the use of GoToMyPC and other services like it.

With In-a-Flash, the patented security system identifies you by your User ID and password (something you know), and your unique USB Flash Key (something you have), a custom-configured USB Flash Drive that you plug into the computer you're using, no matter where you are. That makes In-a-Flash a great alternative to GoToMyPC.

Access to your resources requires both factors. Without both, access will not be granted.

Now that's real security.
