Secure financial systems without forcing them all into the same model
Financial services firms run cloud services next to internal and long-established applications. AuthControl Sentry® adds multi-factor authentication across all of them, with deployment and sign-in options chosen to suit each system and user.
What makes access different in financial services
A typical financial organisation does not have one front door. Staff reach cloud services, internal finance applications and long-established systems that were never designed for modern authentication. Remote workers connect over VPN, and contractors, auditors and other third parties need access that is limited and easy to withdraw.
Every control also has to stand up to regulatory and audit scrutiny. Authentication has to cover all of this without forcing the business to re-engineer systems that already work.
How Swivel Secure fits
Strong authentication that fits the environment it has to protect. See the AuthControl Sentry® platform for the full feature set.
Deployment choice
Run AuthControl Sentry® on-premise, in your own private cloud, in a hybrid model or air-gapped, so authentication data stays where your risk and compliance teams need it.
Authentication choice
Give each group a suitable method: the mobile app and push for most staff, hardware tokens or PINsafe® where phones are not appropriate, and FIDO2 passkeys where devices support them.
Integration
Add MFA to VPNs, Microsoft 365, Citrix and web applications through standard protocols, including RADIUS, SAML and OpenID Connect.
Intelligent access
Use risk-based authentication and single sign-on so stronger checks are requested only when the user, device or application calls for them.
Where authentication has to work
One authentication platform across the systems and environments your users rely on.
- Cloud applications
- Remote access
- Internal systems
- Legacy applications
Users: Employees, administrators, contractors, advisers and third parties
Practical use cases
Secure VPN and remote access
Add a second factor to VPN connections for staff working from home or between offices.
Protect Microsoft 365 and cloud services
Apply consistent MFA to email, collaboration and cloud finance tools.
Add MFA to internal and legacy applications
Protect older applications that support RADIUS or SAML without rewriting them.
Control third-party access
Give auditors, suppliers and contractors their own authentication policy, separate from staff.
Protect Windows and Citrix sessions
Require MFA at Windows logon and for Citrix published applications.
Support users without smartphones
Offer hardware tokens or PINsafe® to staff who cannot or prefer not to use a personal phone.
Customer experience
“Everyone seems to have accepted the Swivel solution more than our original token system. We have really noticed that the login failure rate has dramatically decreased, and it has generally made life easier for everyone.”
