GrIDsure for Microsoft UAG enhances the security provided by Microsoft’s remote access platform by replacing the traditional username and password combination with GrIDsure’s pattern based authentication method. Integrating seamlessly with Microsoft’s software, GrIDsure’s user-friendly solution generates dynamic one-time passcodes without relying on additional hardware or tokens.

Users on both managed and unmanaged PCs and mobile devices can make secure remote VPN connections to company networks without risking their login details being stolen, and organisations can carry out their remote working policies smoothly and securely.

At the core of GrIDsure’s solution is a method called sequential pattern recognition. Users are asked to choose a memorable pattern and sequence of cells on a grid, their Personal Identification Pattern (PIP). Every time they log on, they are presented with a challenge GrID of random numbers and enter those values that accord with their PIP, creating a different passcode every time without giving away their individual, secret pattern.

The approach is based on the fact that the human mind remembers patterns more easily than word and numbers.

GrIDsure for Microsoft UAG is a software only solution and can be added onto both existing and new Microsoft UAG implementations. It is simple to install and manage, scalable and flexible, with open standards interfaces and a modular architecture. The PIPs are stored encrypted, and administrators can configure the challenge grid size, background and authentication policies to suit their organisation’s security requirements.

The new product joins a family of authentication solutions including GrIDsure Enterprise, GrIDsure Solo Login, and GrIDsure SmartLogin.
