Historically, one of the primary obstacles to deploying strong authentication has been the high introductory and ongoing costs associated with expensive leased token products that require renewal, re-licensing, and repayment every few years. ActivCard knows the value of strong authentication and addresses the unique needs of IT managers – and is now introducing this business model to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing two-factor authentication.

“ActivCard customers are never burdened with forced licensing renewal of tokens that wastes both time and money. Unlike authenticators from other vendors that can easily reach 70 Euros for each device with no added functionality, our perpetual-license tokens with lifetime replacement start at an affordable price per user,” stated Andy Smith, ActivCard Solutions Marketing Manager. “The convenience and strength of ActivCard one-time-password technology allows organisations to identify users with confidence and certainty.”

With this lower priced token from ActivCard, the cost of the authentication device is reduced substantially for enterprise and government organisations. In addition, ActivCard Secure Remote Access customers purchasing the advanced maintenance option are entitled to lifetime replacement of tokens. Starting at 15 Euros, this initial token saving, coupled with the long-term benefits of lifetime replacement, furthers ActivCard’s commitment to cost-efficient digital identity solutions with proven return on investment (ROI).
