Definition and Purpose

Unauthorized access refers to the use of a computer system, network, or data without permission. Preventing unauthorized access is essential to protect sensitive information, maintain data integrity, ensure user privacy, and comply with security regulations.

How GateKeeper Proximity Helps Prevent Unauthorized Access

GateKeeper Proximity helps prevent unauthorized access by using a proximity-based authentication system that locks and unlocks computers based on the presence of a user's token or mobile device. When the user walks away, the computer automatically locks, ensuring no one else can access it. Logging in requires both proximity and a PIN, adding an extra layer of multi-factor security. This system reduces the risk of human error and strengthens access control, especially in compliance-sensitive environments like healthcare, law enforcement, and manufacturing.
