Secure access to data and applications is a top issue in almost all sectors. Whether enterprises, educational institutions, hospitals or government agencies: every organization must ensure that only authorized users have access to files, networks and applications.

Everyone uses them, everyone needs them, and most of the time, not just one, but several. Passwords are among the most important gatekeepers in protecting against unauthorized access to individual data and entire networks.
