Intelligent Authentication Platform - Costs and Benefits

Benefits

Security and confidentiality is very important, especially now that transactions can be made with a couple of mouse clicks. Hackers take advantage of this and people have become more and more concerned for the security of their online transactions and digital information. Without security, recent developments such as online banking would be useless.

Intelligent Authentication Platform addresses security problems by adding another layer of protection. Permission to make transactions or accessing information/ websites does not solely depend on entering the correct password. How you type, your location and other gathered data are also verified in order to gain access.

Intelligent Authentication Platform Software is beneficial because it adds another layer of security without requiring you to purchase other software, hardware or peripherals. It also doesn't require you to input additional information.

Costs

Since this software is not freeware, you have to buy it in order to use it. People on the go who access their accounts from different locations can also experience problems since the software takes into account their location before it grants them access. However, location is only one of fourteen factors that determines whether you gain access to the account so problems related to this should be very minimal. This software can also encourage people to be lax when it comes to their passwords. They can leave it lying around or they can use passwords that are very easy to crack.
