Why is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is Important? | RSA SecurID Access Technical Overview

Why is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is Important? Passwords without Multifactor (MFA) is Unacceptable! Why? Because with all of the pass data breaches million of password were stolen and sold on the black market.

If you have multifactor Authentication the hacker also needs to have another form of authentication to gain control of your account. I highly recommend adding multifactor to all of your applications personally and for your organization.

Deliver convenient, secure access to your extended enterprise with RSA SecurID Access, the leading multi-factor authentication and identity assurance solution. Whether you deploy it "as a service" in the cloud and/or on-premises, RSA SecurID Access protects both SaaS applications and traditional enterprise resources with a full range of authentication methods and dynamic, risk-driven access policies.

RSA SecurID Access offers a broad range of authentication methods including modern mobile multi-factor authenticators (e.g., push notification, one-time password, SMS, and biometrics) as well as traditional hard and soft tokens for secure access to all applications regardless of whether they live on premises or in the cloud.

Existing RSA Authentication Manager customers can easily migrate their users from legacy hardware and software tokens to advanced mobile authentication options such as push notification, allowing them to use a single authenticator to access both on-premises and cloud applications on all major mobile platforms.

RSA SecurID Access can be deployed on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and other platforms. The new RSA Authenticate app for Windows 10 allows customers to use any Windows 10 device (whether a smartphone, tablet or PC) to access applications using advanced mobile authenticators.

Add policy-driven secure access and single sign-on to the leading web and SaaS applications through SAML, reverse proxy or password vaulting. Add strong authentication to your custom and third-party applications using the new REST-based authentication API and expanded RADIUS options.

RSA SecurID Access protects more than 500 cloud-based and on-premises applications with out-of-the-box certified interoperability. It ensures security is continuously enforced and that users always have appropriate access.

RSA SecurID Access ensures users are who they say they are by examining a range of contextual factors and correlating them in hundreds of ways. It then makes a dynamic, real-time decision to either allow convenient and secure access or require additional step-up authentication.
