GateKeeper Proximity Authentication Overview

What is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

Proximity MFA for shared workstations. MFA for Shared Computers is a cutting-edge security solution designed to enhance user authentication and access control in environments where multiple users share computing resources. This innovative approach allows individuals to log in using their physical presence rather than traditional passwords, creating a seamless and secure experience across computers, VPNs, websites, and desktop applications. Patented and designed for rugged environments including law enforcement, healthcare, manufacturing (ICS/OT cybersecurity), and compliance. Targeted primarily at organizations that require stringent security measures, such as healthcare providers, financial institutions, and government agencies, this solution addresses common challenges associated with password management. By eliminating the need for users to remember or type passwords, it significantly reduces the risk of forgotten credentials, password resets, and the chaos that often accompanies password management. The continuous authentication feature ensures that users remain securely logged in as long as they are present, while automatically locking the system when they step away, thus preventing unauthorized access. Key features of MFA for Shared Computers include passwordless proximity login, which utilizes a wireless key to authenticate users effortlessly. This technology allows passwords to auto-fill across various platforms, including electronic health records (EHRs) like Allscripts PM and eClinicalWorks, as well as web applications such as Office365 and banking sites. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing systems such as Active Directory, Okta, and RADIUS, ensuring that organizations can maintain their current infrastructure while enhancing security protocols. The benefits of adopting this solution extend beyond mere convenience. Organizations can automate access control and ensure compliance with various regulatory standards, including CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, and NIS2. By streamlining user authentication processes, businesses can improve productivity while maintaining a high level of security. The ability to manage passwords efficiently across shared computers not only enhances user experience but also fortifies overall organizational security, making it an essential tool for any entity looking to safeguard sensitive information in a shared computing environment.

"Auto-lock all PCs and websites without relying on users"

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

Computers are left unlocked and unprotected coupled with weak passwords. Instead of using multiple different tools, GateKeeper automates security for computers, passwords, and websites. Many websites we use have weak passwords that are shared too often. Now, GateKeeper lets every user log in with a key instead of typing many different passwords. This makes life easier since no one needs to call the help desk for getting locked out of their computers. There's no longer any excuse for unsecure computers and not being able to get into web accounts since all you need is your key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

I wish the app did more like adding websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

Computers in the open without being locked by their last user. GateKeeper now locks the PC automatically without doing anything.

Everyone was forgetting passwords to websites, getting locked out, and asking someone else to drop what they're doing to help - slowing down productivity. Now the Gatekeeper key lets users create complex and long passwords without every memorizing them.

People log in to many website but don't log out. Can't really force them. Instead, GateKeeper locks the computer someone used to login to websites, removing access to the accounts that are still logged in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gatekeeper allows users to log in and secure their system quickly and reliably."

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

Easy to setup users and get them started using Gatekeeper. Allows the user to securely access their systems without having to spend lots of time entering ever longer passwords. Also allows for the security of the machine when a user forgets to lock their system when they move away from the computer. Allows me to tie all of my internet sites username and password to multi-factor authentication and ease of logging in by having the Halbred or the app on a phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

The Halbred can discharge its batteries quickly because it is trying to connect to anything with BlueTooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The future of passwords - automating it all."

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

Password automation is awesome. The first thing is that you don't have to remember passwords anymore, just have your key fob with you as you would your smart card or building key. Second, the key works for both computer and websites. So with one key, any employee can get in to whatever computer and website needed. Lastly, the security is also automated in that the key automatically locks the computer when it's out of range. No employee has to do anything extra - in fact their daily life just got easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

I'm told it also works for desktop software, but it doesn't seem to work for all of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

Passwords are added to our system often. Many people don't want to use more passwords as it keeps adding on to the number of non-core tasks that need to be done. One key to rule all passwords means no matter how many passwords are added, employees don't feel the extra stress and get work done more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Authenticator Available"

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

I have been using the Gatekeeper appliance for years, having acquired it initially in 2016. I expanded my use over the years, eventually using it on multiple work and personal computers. It has worked flawlessly since I started using it, and by using it on four computers I can state that it is the best authenticator appliance I have ever tried. I recently updated from the Gatekeeper to their Halberd appliance, and the reliability has only increased my satisfaction in the reliability and support of users. I am currently exploring the implementation of the Halberd with multiple users at my office Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

I cannot think of a single dislike of this device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GateKeeper Proximity Authentication:

Ease of use and reliability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

It reduces the need for me to frequently login to domain level computers, which is a real issue for me considering the number of computers I have to utilize at the office. Since we have a domain that means I have to use a domain, domain user, and password, which in healthcare is fairly complex. The Halberd removes that difficulty. One of the primary issues I appreciate is that it locks my computer when I walk away from it and logging back in is a simple process since my computer recognizes my Halberd (which is always attached to me) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product for use in IT or outside IT"

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

The best part about this product is the setup. It's super easy, and the software is straight forward to use. They also make it super easy to add domain credentials (for enterprise use) and literally just walk up to your computer and start using it when you get into work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

The only thing that I do not like about this product is how sensitive the proximity sensor is. It takes a bit of time to find the sweet spot for unlocking and locking your computer. But other than that, everything else is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
