Hardware-based authentication options operate as part of a multi-factor authentication solution and come in several forms: the USB token device, the smart card, the password-generating token and biometrics readers. They're a viable solution for certain organizations, depending on transaction types, size of user base and available budget.

For instance, hardware options aren't always realistic for deployment among large customer bases, as they can be costly and easily lost or stolen. And if yours is presently a smaller user base, do you have plans to grow? If so, you may find their administration increasingly expensive and time-consuming down the road.

Tricerion can help you determine if these tools are right for your organization - as well as how you can supplement them with other authentication solutions. Perhaps you can segment your user base, utilizing tokens among your customers with high net worth, or with employees who need restricted access to confidential databases.

Hardware-based authentication can be beneficial to certain organizations - but get all the answers, as well as a comprehensive identity integrity platform that works best for your business, with Tricerion.
