Introducing StarSign®: scalable solutions for different security needs

It’s happening everywhere. Enterprises are bringing their business processes and transactions online with cloud and mobile services. Yet as simple as it may seem, this trend holds some of the biggest challenges. Digital often implies a constant trade-off between fast and easy authentication systems on the one hand, and robust and secure access management om the other. G+D’s StarSign® solutions, based on standards from the FIDO Alliance, bring these two seemingly contrary positions together. They make online security simpler and easier to use while providing stronger protection and reducing risks for the enterprise.

Authentication with a FIDO solution means replacing password-only logins with secure and fast login for websites and apps alike.
Our StarSign® FIDO solutions offer a wide variety of options that can be tailored to your specific needs. What they have in common is that they are easy to implement and flexible. Once they are integrated into your environment, you will enormously improve user experience and benefit from cost efficiencies, such as lower support costs.

Our StarSign FIDO-standard-based solutions turn that around and make online security a simpler and better user experience while providing stronger security and reducing risks for the enterprise.
