Our unique multi-factor authentication( MFA) result not only helps to reduce the likelihood of network dislocations and data breaches arising from lost or stolen credentials, but we deliver this important capability entirely from the Cloud for simple set-up and operation. AuthPoint goes beyond traditional 2-factor authentication( 2FA) by considering innovative ways to positively identify users, and our large ecosystem of 3rd party integrations means you’ll use MFA to cover access to the network, VPNs, and Cloud operations. Even-technical users find the AuthPoint mobile app easy and accessible to use!
Eventually, WatchGuard AuthPoint is the right result at the right time to make MFA a reality for the businesses who desperately need it to block attacks.
AuthPoint uses a push message, QR code, or one-time password (OTP) as an extra factor proving your identity; and our mobile device DNA matches the authorized user’s phone when granting access to systems and applications. Therefore, any attacker who clones a user’s device in an effort to access a protected system would be blocked – since the device DNA would differ.
WatchGuard’s AuthPoint app allows users to authenticate right from their own phone! No need to carry crucial fobs or thumb drives; rather install and activate the AuthPoint app in seconds, also use it to authenticate from a smartphone. It enables speedy push-based authentication also as offline authentication using QR codes with the phone’s camera.
WatchGuard’s ecosystem includes dozens of 3rd party integrations with AuthPoint – allowing companies to require users to authenticate before penetrating sensitive Cloud applications, VPNs, and networks. AuthPoint supports the SAML standard, permitting users to log in formerly to access a full range of operations and services.
Companies with limited IT staff and security experience benefit from MFA protection that’s easy to deploy and manage in WatchGuard Cloud. there’s no got to install software, schedule upgrades or manage patches. you’ll configure one global account view or many independent accounts. Plus, the Dark Web check feature is available to search email addresses and company domains to see if accounts are exposed on the dark web during known data breaches.
AuthPoint’s time-based, one-time password (OTP) hardware token is a sealed device designed to generate secure OTPs every 30 seconds that businesses can use as an alternate to the mobile token to authenticate into protected resources. Our hardware tokens are ready to use and might provide an extra source of protection for businesses when mobile device use is limited or restricted.
