Endpoint multi-factor authentication

with ADSelfService Plus

Start free trial

Barricade access to a hacker’s point of contact

With an estimated 70 percent of breaches starting at endpoints, it's high time that admins take action to prevent these intrusions by leveraging multi-factor authentication (MFA). Endpoint MFA ensures users prove their identity through additional authentication methods like biometrics during workstation, server, VPN and OWA logins. Implementing Endpoint MFA mitigates the risks of exposing sensitive data, even in cases where passwords are compromised due to inadequate password hygiene.

Redefining endpoint security with MFA

ADSelfService Plus offers Endpoint MFA to help organizations secure multiple points of access to organization's sensitive resources. ADSelfService Plus' Endpoint MFA secures access to:

  • Windows, macOS, and Linux machines.
  • Top VPN providers like Fortinet, Cisco AnyConnect, Pulse, and more.
  • Endpoints supporting RADIUS authentication such as Citrix Gateway, VMWare Horizon, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway (RDP).
  • Outlook Web access (OWA) logins.

Moreover, ADSelfService Plus offers offline MFA for Windows machines which ensures the security of offline remote workers during machine logons.

Complete endpoint protection: ADSelfService Plus' Endpoint MFA in action

With Endpoint MFA in place, users are first authenticated through Active Directory (AD) domain credentials, and next through authentication techniques such as one-time passwords (OTPs) sent via SMS or email, or Yubico OTP configured in ADSelfService Plus. So, even if hackers leverage compromised user credentials, their attack attempts can be thwarted through MFA.

    According to the SANS Software Security Institute, organizations are hesitant to employ MFA because of:

  • The misconception that MFA always requires external hardware devices.
  • Concerns that MFA might affect user productivity.

ADSelfService Plus dispels both these misconceptions by providing 17 authentication techniques that don't always require external hardware devices (e.g. AD-based security questions) or affect user productivity (e.g. biometrics). However, it stands to reason that different sets of users are comfortable with different authentication techniques. Asking users who are only familiar with OTPs to use hardware tokens will generate a lot of complaints. Also, some users have more privileges than others; protecting these privileged accounts with additional authentication techniques makes more sense than implementing the same number of authentication factors for all users across the organization.

ADSelfService Plus allows admins to utilize different approaches to different sets of users to limit user disruptions. For example, with ADSelfService Plus, admins have the option to enforce OTPs, tokens, or security questions for one set of users (say, users inside the LAN network); and configure more stringent authentication techniques like fingerprint or FaceID authentication for another set of users (say, C-level executives or remote employees).

FAQs

1. What is endpoint MFA?

Endpoint multi-factor authentication (MFA) secures all user access to an organization's endpoints, such as networks, workstations, virtual machines, and servers, with multiple identity verification factors.

2. Does my organization need endpoint protection with MFA?

Yes, employing an endpoint MFA solution in your organization is a recommended practice. Organizational endpoints act like doorways which provide access to organizational data at different levels. Traditional methods of authentication, like username and password, cannot protect endpoints on their own because they can easily be compromised. It's essential to add extra layers of security to endpoints so that there are no unauthorized data access or breach incidents.

3. How can I secure the endpoints in my organization?

You can achieve top-notch endpoint security in your organization with endpoint MFA using ADSelfService Plus. With ADSelfService Plus, you can implement MFA for endpoints like:
  • Windows, macOS, and Linux machines
  • Top VPN providers like Fortinet, Cisco AnyConnect, Pulse, and more
  • Outlook on the web or OWA
  • Endpoints supporting RADIUS authentication, such as Citrix Gateway, VMWare Horizon, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway (RDP)
