What is GateKeeper Proximity?

GateKeeper Enterprise by Untethered Labs is automated password management, authentication, and auditing. It is designed so that IT admins can eliminate password and authentication problems with hands-free computer and website access through proximity-based 2FA. Instead of authenticating only once to log in to a computer and website, GateKeeper Enterprise enforces continuous authentication to ensure that the logged in user is still there. When the user leaves, the computer detects the user is no longer present and locks, rendering access to the computer and websites inaccessible.

This system of hybrid convenience and security provides IT admins with the ability to enforce passwords policies such as minimum character amount, complexity, etc. Compliance mandates including HIPAA, CJIS, DFARS, NIST, GDPR, and more require more technical safeguards pertaining to computer access control, permissions, and security. Rather than making employees more responsible for even more passwords, access control policies, and additional authentication processes, GateKeeper Enterprise automates it all.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GateKeeper for ourselves, and for our customers to allow faster login to PCs as well as password storage, without having to type in your password every time you sit down at your desk. The produce allows us to save time each day from typing the same passwords over and over, while also providing security and peace of mind.

Proximity login to pc
Reporting of login / logout

Signal to pc

Most Important Features

Proximity login / logout
User time tracking
Password storage so you can log in to websites with a saved password IF you have your gatekeeper key with you.

Return on Investment

Although the number seems small at first, minutes saved per day not having to log in / having proximity unlock add up over time. Each user's gatekeeper pays for itself over the year just by shaving a few minutes of time off logins each day.
Training time with end users generally takes 15 minutes or less.
