Will:
I think our solution may be good for your needs, as I think WiKID is
particularly well suited to non-employee tw0-factor authentication and
it is "relatively cheap". I assume that all versions of checkpoint
support Radius so compatibility should not be an issue. Pricing for 10
users starts at $240/ year and it is seat-based, so if your contractors
turn over, you're not out the cost of a non-returned hardware token.
