ESET reveals a new cloud-native authentication solution
ESET, a
global leader in cybersecurity, announced the introduction of the cloud version
of ESET Secure Authentication, the multifactor authentication module of
the ESET PROTECT Platform.
In
today’s cybersecurity landscape, an increasing number of data breaches occur
every day. One of the most common ways hackers can gain access to a company’s
data is through weak or stolen passwords gathered via automated bots, phishing,
or targeted attacks.
To
protect against such threats, in addition to just protecting normal users’
logins to critical services, businesses can implement multifactor
authentication to prevent unauthorized administrative access. By adding a
multifactor solution like ESET Secure Authentication, your business will make
it much more difficult for hackers to gain access to your systems and,
ultimately, compromise them.
The
reason why it is important to use the second factor in the authentication
process is that usually end customers use the same passwords across all their
accounts. And now, complementing the on-prem version of ESET Secure
Authentication, we are introducing a new cloud-based version of this solution
that makes multifactor authentication much easier to implement for any business
type without any local hardware needed.
“We
understand how poor password hygiene can lead to devastating data breaches. So,
with the cloud version of ESET Secure Authentication, we aimed to provide a
solution that is flexible, scalable, easy to deploy, and above all, effective
and affordable for companies of all sizes, boosting business data protection
while reducing total cost of ownership, in an effort to deliver superior
business value to our customers,” said Michal Jankech, Vice President of SMB
and MSP segment at ESET.
Thus,
ESET Secure Authentication provides an easy way for businesses of all sizes to
implement MFA across commonly utilized systems such as VPNs, Remote Desktop
Protocol, Outlook Web Access, operating system login, and more to prevent data
breaches and meet compliance requirements. It supports technologies such as
mobile apps with push notifications, hardware tokens, FIDO keys, and other
custom methods.
The cloud
version of ESET Secure Authentication will be available through the ESET PROTECT
Elite subscription tier, but also as a standalone solution
without any change in pricing. However, the prerequisite for cloud version
availability is to have an account in the new ESET PROTECT
Hub portal, the central gateway to ESET’s unified security
platform.
