Software and hardware
editThe GateKeeper software features a dashboard that shows the device's signal strength. Through the dashboard, users can configure lock settings, manage user credentials, and set the range at which the computer detects the device's presence. Additionally, the software allows users to enable two-factor authentication (2FA), requiring them to enter a PIN and carry the GateKeeper security token to log in.
GateKeeper Enterprise
editThe GateKeeper Enterprise software integrates with the GateKeeper hardware, which allows the administrator to control the deployment and management of GateKeepers on the network.[7] The IT administrator can set security policies, gather log data for auditing, conduct productivity analysis, and deploy updates to the client software.[8]
