MFA - Multi-factor Authentication &
Identity Assurance

Identity is the New PERIMETER

In this new world of hybrid technology infrastructures, there is no longer one boundary to protect. We must protect information when potentially it’s:

  • Stored somewhere out of our control
  • Being accessed from a device not in our control
  • Possibly by a user not fully in our control
  • Over a network not in our control

MFA IS THE FIREWALL FOR IDENTITY

The fact is that IDENTITY has become THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ATTACK VECTOR. According to the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 81% of of hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen and/or weak passwords.
The way to “firewall” this new perimeter is with Multi-Factor Authentication. MFA technology has come a long way since the days of hardware tokens.

Discover MFA. The most versatile way to authenticate

Watch our two-minute video to learn about how RSA’s SecurID Multifactor Authentication choices can help your Users to authenticate more easily.

How easily can you distinguish legitimate users from malicious actors?

BALANCE SECURITY WITH CONVENIENCE by collecting information around

With more confidence that a user is who they claim to be, the less we can depend on authentication

– MORE THAN TOKENS –

THREE KEYS TO USING MFA TO SECURE YOUR VPN ACCESS

POWER ACCURATE STEP- UP AUTHENTICATION WITH RISK ANALYTICS

Look for a MFA solution that can discern when access risk is high and when it’s not— and respond accordingly. User-behavior analytics, relevant threat intelligence and machine learning make it possible to step up authentication when access risk warrants it, rather than inconveniencing low-risk users with unnecessary requests for additional authentication. A robust policy engine can put flexible controls in the hands of your security teams.

OFFER EACH USER THE MOST CONVENIENT AUTHENTICATION OPTION

Employees, contractors and partners. At the office, at home, in coffee shops, on airplanes. They all need easy, secure VPN access—but not all the same way. To give users convenient VPN access without compromising security, your MFA solution needs to offer a range of sign-in options, including mobile push-to-approve, one-time passcodes, biometrics, and hardware and software tokens.

KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR BOTH USERS AND ADMINS

Spare yourself the grief of multiple MFA solutions. An MFA solution that can extend beyond VPN to other access scenarios—such as third-party cloud applications—gives users a single, seamless access experience, and you one secure solution to manage.
