The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The days of closed IT perimeters are over. To ensure the smooth running and flexibility in complex business processes, organizations enable remote access to business-critical infrastructure endpoints, data, and applications for both their employees and third-party contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With remote access, identity verification is especially important. The industry already has its gold standard: multi-factor authentication (MFA). Implementing MFA is an explicit requirement in virtually any security regulation and best practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core idea of MFA is not to complicate the process of identity verification but to effectively engage various dimensions of a user\u2019s identity. It\u2019s important, though, to distinguish multi-factor authentication from multi-step authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using true multi-factor authentication, you can minimize the damage that can be done if attackers get hold of the credentials of your employees or subcontractors.<\/p>\n\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t

What is true<\/mark> MFA?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind MFA is to confirm a user\u2019s identity by using at least two out of three factors: knowledge (something you know), possession (something you have), or inheritance (something you are). However, people tend to confuse true MFA with the use of additional authorization layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if the first component of verification is a traditional username and password and the second component is a confirmation code sent via email, the authorization process still involves only one factor: knowledge of user credentials. To build a truly strong authentication process within your corporate network, you should deploy two-factor authentication software.<\/p>\n\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t

The authentication process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Syteca provides you with a two-factor authentication tool in an industry-recognized format that combines the following two factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Knowledge of user credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Possession of a verified mobile device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The possession factor is checked by sending a time-based one-time password to a verified mobile device owned by a particular user.<\/p>\n\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t
