Cybercrime: a growing threat…
The inexorable evolution of information technologies has consequences on our lifestyles. We inquire on Internet, we meet our friends there, we play there, we buy there... And we are not alone: besides the citizens, companies and administrations are more and more dependent on the use of digital tools. And all have become real targets for criminals in the virtual space.
The misdeeds of the "modern branch of crime” are diverse and are growing exponentially: identity theft, credit card fraud, sales of stolen goods by selling ads or auction, collection of payment without delivery of goods, malware injection or physical intrusion, data theft ...
Individuals defend themselves...
Protect a computer with antivirus software, set up a firewall, activate system updates... are many “stackable” disposals available for users. But they are insufficient to address the multiple vulnerabilities that facilitate identity theft.
Given the growth of successful attacks, the Internet users distrust increases reducing uses and economic growth. Mobilegov offers an innovative and simple solution to prevent identity theft on all online services.
MOBILEGOV: MAJOR PLAYER IN THE FIELDS OF IT SECURITY AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION
Editor of IT security software, Mobilegov - company based in Sophia Antipolis - provides its customers with strong authentication solutions to protect their sensitive data.
- Its ambition: Become the strong authentication worldwide leader, without dedicated token, and standardize its technology Tge Digital DNA to the largest number of users and applications.
- Its aim: Work "to redo the digital world " by bringing the security which it needs, whether it is on the networks of company, the Internet or on mobile phones.
- Its speciality: Develop cutting edge IT solutions based on the Digital DNA, an innovative patented technology that exploits the physical identification of equipment used.
A clearly expressed vision
Nowadays, security disposals penalize honest users. They impose heavy procedures and nevertheless circumvented by criminals.
“In the future, thanks to our products, identity and privacy will be better protected, online shopping will be less contentious and our children will run fewer risks on the Internet," said Michel Frenkiel, Chairman.
To Mobilegov, security is every service providers’ business: each secured service user need to be authentified by what he knows (its PIN code) and by what he holds (a piece of hardware). To make life easier for the user, he can choose the piece of hardware used for authentication. He also determines what personal information he communicates to the provider, his name or a pseudonym, his address or a PO Box. In case of dispute, the presence of the hardware he is the only one to hold strengthens its responsibility.
The mutual recognition of equipments and the control of the information lifecycle, more and more necessary, can now be handled by Mobilegov’s technology!
MOBILEGOV: A REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYONE
Mobilegov is an editor of innovative IT security software. "Innovative" because the company allows for the first time the strong authentication of users in acceptable conditions, regarding costs, privacy protection and ease of implementation.
What is strong authentication?
The online user has to authenticate to access his online bank account, his company’s Intranet or a less sensitive account (Facebook, Google, eBay…): he communicates his login and his password as a proof of his identity.
This is generally insufficient; a password can be lost or, worse, stolen. Their multiplicity encourages laxity: the same password never changed for several applications.
Strong authentication strengthens the evidence of identity by controlling both what the user knows (their password) and what he holds (a piece of hardware).
This piece of hardware, otherwise called a network security “token”, is better known when dedicated: it is supplied by the provider, a bank for instance, to secure an application, the online access to the bank account for instance. The “token” can be a small calculator that generates a One Time Password, or an entry in a public key infrastructure. With Mobilegov, the “token” can be any piece of hardware chosen by the user: his computer, his mobile phone, a USB stick. The user can chose as many devices as he wants, to be used at home, at the office, or when travelling...
