Chapter 1 ASUS Security Protect Manager

1.1 Introduction

ASUS Security Protect Manager is designed to provide a secure and convenient
computing environment. A user can consolidate all passwords and network accounts
into a single data unit called User Identity. Security and privacy are strictly enforced
with ASUS Security Protect Manager, so all private data is available only to its owner.
User identity is always encrypted and can be protected with Multifactor
Authentication
ASUS Security Protect Manager enhances user convenience and productivity
with Single Sign On (SSO) functionality. SSO can store user names and passwords for
an unlimited number of applications and automatically submits them when required.
With SSO the user no longer needs to remember the growing number of passwords
for Internet and Windows applications.
ASUS Security Protect Manager increases system security through the use of
Multifactor Authentication Policy. Multifactor authentication policies define
authentication methods and credentials that are required to log on to the system and
ASUS Security Protect Manager. Authentication methods include password, TPM
password, fingerprint, smart card, or virtual token. Policy can force single or multiple
authentication methods or can let the user select from a defined list of authentication
methods.
