Protect against weak passwords with SafeWord for Nortel Networks

With Nortel's SSL VPN, users can access their networks from anywhere with just a Web browser. Many organizations identify users with only a password-but if you rely on passwords for authentication, it's easy to break into your network. Passwords can readily be hacked using a wide variety of attacks, including sniffing, brute force attacks, dictionary attacks, personal information gathering, and even tricking users into revealing their passwords. Industry experts estimate that around 40 percent of companies' network passwords can be hacked within five minutes.

SafeWord® for Nortel Networks provides a complete solution for strong authentication specifically designed to protect access to the Nortel Networks 3050 SSL VPN Gateway, Contivity VPN, and other Nortel Networks products. With tokens that generate new passcodes with every user login, and tight integration and simplified management through Active Directory, SafeWord for Nortel Networks lets you easily and cost-effectively eliminate the password risk.
