The latest research from the World Economic Forum on Global Risks<\/a> shows the impact of COVID-19 crisis on the global economy weakens cybersecurity and encourages hackers to cyberattacks. Now more than ever, companies across the world with teams working from home need to strengthen their equipment safety by shielding their IT solutions.<\/p>\n

Since people around the world are totally dependent on their organisation's digital infrastructure, they need to be made aware of the risks, be trained accordingly on the use of specific tools to be protected while working online. Otherwise, their equipment is at risk in the long term<\/strong>, in times when cybercriminal activity is around the corner due to the global dependency on the Internet, which is still a key driver for business.<\/span><\/p>\n

To palliate the risks of cyberattacks and data theft that both cost global businesses billions of losses, experts in cybersecurity offer their support with revolutionary IT solutions<\/a> to reinforce their clients' digital infrastructure. In light of soaring threats amid the outbreak, a London-based cybersecurity startup, swIDch<\/a>, decided, as of April 27, to provide a 3-month free trial of its OTAC (One Time Authentication Code)<\/em> to support businesses manage their employee access management more securely.<\/p>\n

What is \"OTAC\"?<\/strong> It's a one-time authorisation code, meaning a code that is valid to authenticate a user's identity for one session only. Not only is it used in mechanisms to identify a user's identity, but also in the computing sector. Someone using a desktop or laptop for a web application\u00a0might use an OTAC to securely authenticate with the web application.<\/p>\n

\"As a cybersecurity startup, we came up with a resolution to defeat another terrible virus on your computer in a manner fitting the current circumstances.\" - Chang-hun, Founder of swIDch<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, swIDch offers OTAC technology to enable employees to generate a one-time dynamic authentication code for access management. This method can generate unique dynamic codes even in an off-the-network<\/em> environment, eliminating the attack surface for hackers. The codes are enough to identify a user on its own, therefore the businesses do not rely on the use of other technologies, saving costs for them. Thanks to this solution, swIDch aims to reduce fraud and data theft, and reduces the risks of cyberattacks for companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
