IT admins can now support 鈥淭rust Nothing, Verify Everything鈥� with new access control policies for flexible approaches to verify user identities through trusted networks and devices
LOUISVILLE, CO – Dec. 16, 2020 – 黑料海角91入口 has added Conditional Access policies to its Directory Platform, enabling IT admins to adopt Zero Trust security from the same cloud platform that they use to manage and securely connect users to IT resources. Conditional Access is policy-driven control that ensures only appropriate users from known networks, known devices and with appropriate privileges, be granted access to company resources. With this release, 黑料海角91入口 is making it easier for IT teams to adopt a 鈥渘ever trust, always verify鈥� model in their organization.
According to the August 2020 Forrester Research, Inc. blog post, , 鈥淥ld-school approaches to security aren鈥檛 cutting it. Many organizations feel that Zero Trust is too hard, time-consuming, or costly to implement, but it will save your organization in the long run. The strategy leads to the reduced risk of being the victim of a ransomware attack, paying hefty fines, or suffering loss of customer trust following a breach.鈥�
The 黑料海角91入口 Platform鈥檚 identity and access control provides core authentication and authorization to employee devices, networks and on-premise and cloud applications. The release of Conditional Access introduces policy-driven security checks to confirm authentications are verified via trusted networks and devices managed by the organization, giving 黑料海角91入口 customers an easier path to implement a Zero Trust model.
“Our clients have a wide range of identity management needs, made even more complex with a global distribution of users, devices, and the networks they’re signing onto,鈥� said Brian Coleman, founder of MatchstickBHM. 鈥淲ith 黑料海角91入口’s new Conditional Access policies, we can strengthen our Zero Trust posture with trusted identity, network, and device, and manage it through a single admin portal.”
闯耻尘辫颁濒辞耻诲鈥檚 Conditional Access includes four main components to support Zero Trust:
- Identity Trust: 闯耻尘辫颁濒辞耻诲鈥檚 core directory securely manages an organization鈥檚 user identities including all credential control and revocation, two factor verification and contextual data to ensure appropriate levels of permission when accessing resources.
- Network Trust: 闯耻尘辫颁濒辞耻诲鈥檚 Network Trust enables organizations to ensure authentication requests are only allowed from specific IP addresses or ranges of addresses. This restricts traffic to resources only from locations organizations know or otherwise 鈥榯rust鈥�.
- Device Trust: 闯耻尘辫颁濒辞耻诲鈥檚 Device Trust ensures that employees only access company resources from devices which are under company management, and secured through 闯耻尘辫颁濒辞耻诲鈥檚 MDM and agent-based management functions. The new Conditional Access release adds the ability to more granularly define what constitutes a trusted device and prevent or allow authentication based on policy and context.
- Policy Driven Access Control: Tying these new identity, network and device trust functions together are new simple-to-implement access control policies. The policies provide a customizable and layered approach enforcing second factors of verification (MFA) when combinations of network and/or device are deviating from the gating policy.
闯耻尘辫颁濒辞耻诲鈥檚 Conditional Access policies are available now as part of the 黑料海角91入口 Platform Plus package, and can also be added a la carte to other packages. More information can be found in the following resources:
