鈥淥ur IT team is challenged with a number of requirements. Making employees happy and productive, reducing the total cost of equipping them with the right IT tools, and ensuring we are keeping the company secure while people are remote is our new normal,鈥� said Randy Tanenhaus, IT Manager at ClassPass. 鈥淚 like 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 direction. 黑料海角91入口 Protect means we can give our employees the simplest verification solution on the market. Without disrupting their work, we really know it’s them. Further, I have been able to think about other critical priorities versus evaluating, buying, and integrating a 2FA solution into our identity strategy.”
“At Employee Zero, we’ve been implementing 黑料海角91入口 solutions for our clients for the past six years,鈥� said James Martin, director at Employee Zero, an IT consultancy and managed service provider. 鈥淚n that time, we have seen so many exciting advancements in features and value-adds to the platform. 黑料海角91入口 Protect is a major leap forward in keeping identity and security in one easy to manage place for both the end user, and for us as IT support. 黑料海角91入口 Protect will reduce the cost of maintaining a separate MFA solution for our clients whilst making things more streamlined.鈥�
In addition to its extensive feature set, 黑料海角91入口 Protect provides a number of benefits for customers of 黑料海角91入口 at any package level, and the employees and IT and security teams that manage access and security controls at these companies:
- Secure all endpoints: 黑料海角91入口 Protect will extend beyond the 黑料海角91入口 user portal and cloud applications, to also protect on-premise applications, Mac, Windows, and Linux desktops, VPN and wireless networks, and servers.
- Reduce IT cost: 黑料海角91入口 Protect is included with all packages at no extra cost.
- Vendor consolidation: Admins will no longer have to manage third-party MFA or authenticator apps and save on their associated licensing and integration costs. 黑料海角91入口 Protect is natively combined with the 黑料海角91入口 Directory Platform.
- Integrated with 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 Conditional Access 鈥渟tep-up鈥� authentication policies: For customers of 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 Platform Plus package, 黑料海角91入口 Protect adds an extra layer of security by providing an integrated MFA solution with the package鈥檚 Conditional Access Policies, triggering verification of an identity based upon a variety of parameters, such as device trust, location, network trust, and application-specific step-up challenges.
- Ease of use: Standard MFA methods are often viewed as cumbersome for end users such as the insertion of six digit token numbers into authentication fields or combined with passwords. 黑料海角91入口 Protect provides a one-touch authentication method to provide employee convenience when challenged with verifying their identity.
鈥淢ost organizations struggle to find the balance of appropriate security levels and convenience for employees. Security and IT teams are looking for solutions that eliminate friction, without incurring additional costs in integration time, effort, and vendor management,鈥� said Greg Keller, CTO at 黑料海角91入口. 鈥満诹虾＝�91入口 Protect gives IT and security teams a path to protection without irritating users or overcomplicating their infrastructure. Mobile push MFA is an easy-to-understand and easy-to-use solution for employees, and simplifies IT and SecOps who can rely upon the same vendor they use for their identity and device management solutions with tightly integrated MFA solutions.鈥�
黑料海角91入口 is redefining the directory to enable the domainless enterprise, where admins can secure every user and device from the cloud, without any legacy on-premise infrastructure or networking required.
