Multi-Factor Authentication for Workforce Identity Management

Invisible MFA is more than just providing phishing-resistant MFA options. It’s a game changing approach to authentication where the end user is frictionlessly accessing apps and data while their risk profile is being continuously evaluated behind the scenes. It’s the most foolproof way to mitigate cyber-attacks for your company.

While SecureAuth supports phishing-resistant MFA methods (which are recommended by CISA), we believe they aren’t enough. These methods are still a binary way to authenticate users, whereas you need a continuous approach to confirming identities.

Traditional MFA

Only provides “point-in-time” context, no control before authentication or post authorization
Adds friction with an MFA prompt every time for every authentication
Uses easy to hack methods like push-to-text or push-to-email

Invisible MFA

Provides seamless user context throughout the digital journey
Reduces friction by only requiring prompts when risks appear
Uses advanced MFA methods like behavioral and passwordless

Only SecureAuth combines and analyzes data from mobile devices, workstations, and browser fingerprints to truly determine identity. This is the underlying next-gen technology that powers our invisible MFA approach. It enables you to create a layered defense against unauthorized users who can wreak havoc on your critical data.

SecureAuth supports over 30 MFA methods and any additional phishing-resistant methods that are FIDO2-approved.

For each discrete visit or user authentication attempt on a DBFP-enabled website, SecureAuth collects information about a variety of parameters including user-agent, browser type, and screen resolution.

These data points form an overall picture to characterize each specific visitor, enabling the enterprise to ensure smart and secure authentication and eliminate potential threat actors via MFA.

MFA gives you assurance that users are who they say they are through our data science approach by proving the following:

Something you know
Something you have
Something you are
Things that you do

Utilize analytics to deliver a frictionless experience for employees with invisible MFA login workflows that deliver step-up or step-down authentication.

And you can offer the least disruptive MFA for users on mobile or desktop devices with MFA factors suitable for touch screens and smartphones, such as Symbol to Accept, Passkeys, Touch ID or WebAuthn.

Enhanced Security: MFA adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password, making it much harder for unauthorized employees to access systems.
Reduced Risk of Data Breaches: With MFA, the chances of a data breach are significantly reduced, as attackers would need to bypass multiple forms of authentication.
Compliance: Many regulations and standards require the use of MFA for certain types of data and systems. Implementing MFA helps organizations meet these legal and regulatory requirements.
Protection Against Credential Theft: MFA helps protect against common attacks such as phishing and keylogging, as knowing the password alone is not enough to gain access.
User Convenience with Single Sign-On (SSO): When combined with SSO, MFA can provide both enhanced security and improved user experience, as users can access multiple applications with one set of credentials and an additional authentication factor.
