Security7 Networks is a Managed Service Provider managing computers and network components within their customers own facilities. Security and reliability are important requirements for them.
Therefor Security7 Networks was looking for a reliable two factor authentication solution to increase logon security for all managed devices. They achieved this by implementing the one time password solution LSE LinOTP. Various smartphone applications on a wide variety of platforms are compatible with LSE LinOTP and used by employees and customers alike as a token. This leverages the devices already deployed to support strong authentication. Using the LSE LinOTP self-service portal hosted in the Security7 Networks data center, customers can easily register their existing smartphones for use with two factor authentication.
Security7 Networks uses the modular and flexible architecture of LSE LinOTP to meet strict reliability requirements. They implemented multiple LinOTP servers supporting each of the modules that comprise the authentication. Security7 Networks setup load balanced LinOTP servers with a redundant SQL database backend.
The flexibility of LinOTP's modules also enabled Security7 Networks to setup scenarios where the first level of authentication can be performed at the client's site, while forwarding token validation requests to the hosted LinOTP service in Security7 Networks' datacenter.
