Campus IT is constantly faced with the task of faculty, staff and students securely managing their data access.  With the large volume of users that exists within the campus environment, a compromised/forgotten password can become a cumbersome and costly event.

On average, IT spends about 30% of their resources resetting user passwords and classroom network computers because of improper student logoff procedures. In addition, the ramification of compromised personal information is now costing some organizations upwards of $1 million per incident.

Power LogOn® Administrator is a smartcard-based solution that offers more advanced security features and protection than other software or portable memory device solutions. Power LogOn, in combination with ID card, physical access control, cashless payments, time & attendance tracking, etc., creates the one-card campus solution. HID® Prox, iCLASS®, Mifare®, Legic®, custom graphics, bar codes and magnetic stripe are just some of the expandable technologies that can be added, which can drive down maintenance and issuance costs by 25% or more.


How Power LogOn works

Power LogOn Administrator allows an IT manager to assign and issue variable rights, privileges and passwords onto the smartcard giving users unique authorization to networks, data files and web accounts. The user does not need to remember, type or even know their access information.

With Power LogOn, the user has one PIN to remember to retrieve all of their access permissions. The individual smartcard and PIN provide a double, two-factor of authentication (something you have and something you know) (something the computer has and something the computer knows), two of the three primary authentication features. Biometrics can also be integrated with the cards to provide the final factor (the something you are). If the card is ever lost or stolen it will lock down the stored data after a limited number of incorrect authentications. IT can also revoke card access remotely, adding another layer of security.

Compared to other encrypted data access technologies such as SSOs, OTPs and PKI, Power LogOn is affordable. It requires no back-end modification, no annual fees and recyclable user licenses. It can be deployed within a few days - depending on the size and scope of the campus. Because Power LogOn is intuitive to use, very limited user training is required. Administrator is ideal for all campuses that need to implement security, simplify user access and streamline costs within days, not years.
