    Hypersocket Software
    HyperSocket is very well suited if the resources and budget are made available. There is not much a learning curve for the IT Department or for those users already familiar with two-factor authentication. There will be some education and training requirements for most end-users as the notifications and general verbiage can be confusing for some. It may also show some exploits within some end-users who are unaware of a notification but will use the email to reset an expired password without thinking twice if it may have been a phishing email or the opposite where an end-user deletes or ignores the expiration email notification expecting it to be spam/phishing.

    The risk of interception or manipulation by hackers is reduced. It manages to be combined with other means of authentication, they allow the developer's software to be completed with the AMF software. The application tests the user's rights and links him to its services and data. The authentication of the interested party is one of the many keys to this process.

    Cons
    Hypersocket Software
    • Help-Desk functionality similar to OneIdentity Self-Service Password Manager, as it provides additional users that do not require administrative access to assist with managing end-users who may have locked themselves out of HyperSocket Access Manager by forgetting their own security questions.
    • Too many features which become unusable and feel like the payment plans are not flexible since it's an all-in-one product with one price. It is not necessarily a bad thing as most subscription-based pricing forces a buyer to pay more for an integral service that is only available on the highest price-plan. You really do get what you pay for, but we found many of our use-case scenarios limited the product.
    • This isn't necessarily against the product, just a personal opinion around Multi-Factor authentication which is always primarily driven mobile devices. Not all companies or end-users have access to a multi-factor device, (or in our case, are allowed to have access to a cell phone while servicing members/clients). This creates a shortfall to allow multi-factor functionality to extend to all users unless there are hardware tokens, which can be miss placed or left out more easily as most users don't treat it the same way they would their personal smartphone.

    • This mechanism certainly allows to protect a work site, but it can be expensive from an application point of view.
    • It is unavoidable to precisely verify the user at the launch of the workstation and/or at the connection to its application using the measures of the security policy and also to show that the authentication procedure is correctly applied.

    Nervepoint Access Manager (NAM) has the ability to deal with multiple domains. While ServiceNow at the time we looked at the solution did not (I do not know if it does now). NAM was a more polished, mature product.

    A user communications neighbor serves as an immediate access gate to all applications to which the appropriate permission has been provided. The end user will simply have to have a single effectively secure signal. we get the authentication required to be able to verify a user. This provides greater fixity, speed and also efficiency of the connection.

    Return on Investment
    Hypersocket Software
    • As with any IT Service or Solution, the investment will always be seen as a sunk cost. The only ROI would be the time and resources spent elsewhere rather than with Password Management through an IT Department or similar department. I found that the time spent on password management was about the same, as many users who are frequently forgetting a password are also forgetting their security question & answers.
    • There are some positives, as it was able to help manage the bulk of their non-windows passwords or passwords related to another online service. The centralized password manager doesn't feel like a true single sign-on but for most users, it replaces a hand-written copy they have taped to a monitor.
    • It can help with automating some of the active directory workflows with its own user provisioning functionality. Took more time to set up than it was to manage on its own.

    • Consequently, with an OTP system, the user has an expert forecaster who provides him with a password upon request.
    • This password is valid for a limited duration, and for a single use.
