Integrated, cohesive turn-key security

CenturyLink's Managed E-Authentication Service (MEAS) provides a tightly integrated, cohesive service incorporating a variety of authentication mechanisms including tokens, digital certificates and biometrics. CenturyLink's MEAS hardware and software components provide for remote authentication of individual users over a network, for the purposes of electronic government and commerce. All of the hardware, software, and networks services are integrated and managed by the CenturyLink Security Operations Center (SOC), giving your Agency a cohesive, turn-key service.
