Best-in-class Multi-Factor Authentication protects businesses against 99 per cent of automated cyberattacks
A data breach will turn your entire organisation’s online life upside down. Even with reasonable password policies in place, people are still the weakest link in the security chain. Social engineering can convince even the most intelligent people to enter their credentials on a phishing site or give them up over the phone. The solution is Multi-factor Authentication (MFA). Paradyn has collaborated with Cisco to provide Cisco DUO, which verifies user identity and device health at every login attempt, providing trusted access to your applications and proactively reducing the risk of a data breach.
Here are four key ways in which Cisco DUO can keep your organisation secure:
• Establish user trust: verify the identity of all users before granting access to corporate applications and resources
• Gain visibility into devices: get detailed insight into every type of device accessing your applications, across every platform
• Establish device trust: check the security posture and verify trust of all devices, corporate and personally owned, accessing your
applications
• Enable secure access to all apps: give your users a secure and consistent login experience to on-premises and cloud applications
MFA will provide your business with over 99 per cent protection against automated cyber-attacks. Cisco DUO is not only an MFA authentication solution, but will begin your journey to a complete zero trust security model that starts with a secure workforce.
“Multi-factor authentication enables IT administrators to rest much easier, knowing that they have deployed a security strategy that protects the company’s platforms and users alike, thus reducing complexity while ensuring access and boosting the flexibility of remote workers”, Cillian McCarthy, chief executive of Paradyn, said.
Paradyn is a leading provider of IT security and consultancy services in Ireland, offering a comprehensive, best-in-class suite of security services to monitor, protect and defend customers against today’s cyber security threats. Through its partnership with Cisco DUO, it provides businesses with a secure remote working environment.
