"A versatile authentication server (VAS) is a common enterprise infrastructure supporting multiple open and proprietary authentication methods. This approach enables an enterprise to use different forms of authentication depending on who is logging in, where the login is taking place and for what purpose. A VAS also gives an enterprise a simple means of migrating to new authentication methods as its needs change and new methods emerge."

Entrust IdentityGuard can perform the level of authentication that an organization has determined is appropriate to respond to rising threat levels, while reducing the impact on the user experience and taking into account limited security budgets. In combination with zero-touch fraud detection, Entrust IdentityGuard delivers a true risk-based authentication solution.
