NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

i-Sprint’s AccessMatrix™ Universal Authentication Server (UAS) is a comprehensive, enterprise-grade authentication platform that centralizes multiple authentication methods into a single, secure system. Supporting End-to-End-Encrypted passwords, OTP, hardware/software tokens, FIDO2, and biometrics. UAS enables organizations to deploy strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) that meets evolving business and financial regulatory requirements.

Unlike conventional authentication solutions, UAS is vendor-agnostic, allowing enterprises to integrate technologies from multiple providers without being locked into a single ecosystem. Its Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) approach ensures future-proof scalability, simplifying the adoption of emerging authentication methods as threats and standards evolve. Designed for high-volume, mission-critical environments, UAS delivers seamless, reliable, and secure access for both internal and external users.

Key Capabilities:
1) Integration with Hardware Security Module (HSM) to meet financial regulatory requirements
2) FIDO2 Server Certification: Supports passwordless login or second-factor authentication via biometrics and security keys
3) Scalable & Reliable Platform: Tested with over 100 million users/tokens, supporting auto failover, horizontal and vertical scaling, and 24/7 operations
4) AI-Enabled Audit Assistance: AI chatbot provides rapid access to audit data for compliance and operational insights
5) Post-Quantum Safe: Incorporates PQC algorithms to protect against future quantum threats
6) Versatile Authentication Support: Supports a broad range of authentication methods (OTP, biometrics, hardware/software tokens, FIDO2) to meet diverse security requirements
7) Complete Token Lifecycle Management: Offers end-to-end management of OTP tokens, from issuance to expiration, enabling secure, streamlined token administration
8) Vendor-Agnostic Integration: PAM approach supports multiple authentication solutions
9) Comprehensive Mobile Authentication: Supports mobile-based authentication

Differentiators:
AccessMatrix UAS combines flexibility, scalability, and future-readiness in a single authentication platform. Its vendor-agnostic design consolidates multiple authentication methods under one system, reducing integration complexity and operational overhead. Supporting FIDO2, it delivers modern passwordless experiences while maintaining compatibility with traditional MFA methods. AI-driven audit assistance provides administrators rapid visibility into authentication events, enhancing compliance and operational efficiency. Post-quantum readiness ensures long-term resilience against next-generation cyber threats.

Proven Impact:
1) BSN: Standardized MFA for 2 million e-service users; 600,000 users activated mobile token authentication within a month.
2) European Private Bank: Deployed UAS for full token lifecycle management and secure 2FA across private banking clients, streamlining workflows and ensuring regulatory compliance.

By combining flexible deployment, AI intelligence, FIDO2 certification, and quantum resilience, AccessMatrix UAS empowers enterprises to securely manage authentication today while future-proofing against evolving cybersecurity challenges.
