Users accessing a Virtual Private Network [VPN], typically authenticate their access with usernames and passwords. This is something that they know and is referred to as 'single factor authentication'. Increasingly, SSL VPN systems and other VPN applications are recommending that a 'second layer' of protection, called 'two factor authentication', is implemented.

Digi-Access™ is compatible with 27 different servers, so adding the second layer of security to your VPN access does not require any re-programming of your existing environment. It literally 'sits in front' of your current VPN system.
