The Security Benefits of Physically Authenticated Remote Access
Security is the number one priority when using remote access software. If users do not feel the remote access to their workstations is secure, they will simply not install the software on their machines. Our computers contain too much sensitive information to take any chances that someone could gain unauthorized access to them.
This is why I’m InTouch Premium includes the option to enable Physical Authentication using the SecureKEY and SecurePC. Building on the already impressive 2-stage security in I’m InTouch Premium, users can choose to add the SecureKEY and SecurePC to ensure that under absolutely no circumstances is unauthorized remote access to their PC possible.
By activating a SecureKEY on a computer with I’m InTouch Premium installed, remote access from another computer will require that specific SecureKEY be inserted into the USB slot. This means that even if someone were to compromise your I’m InTouch login information, they would be unable to remotely access your PC. For even more security, you can require that the only device which can remotely access your computer be the SecurePC.
All this security does not make remotely accessing your PC any more difficult or time consuming. All that is required is plugging your SecureKEY into the computer you want to use to remotely access your PC. If you have held off installing remote access software onto your PC due to security concerns, you can now remotely access your computer with complete confidence that no one else will.
