Optimal protection of your data thanks to multi-factor authentication based on mobile phone

What is multi-factor authentication?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA), often called two-factor authentication (2FA), is a strong authentication method that requires users to authenticate themselves with more than one element. By combining a static password with a dynamic second factor, the risk of data loss is significantly reduced. ESET Secure Authentication (ESA) provides a foundation for businesses to meet compliance requirements and proactively prevent data breaches. With ESA, businesses of all sizes can easily implement MFA for shared systems (Windows logins and servers, Microsoft cloud services such as Microsoft 365 or OWA, SAML, FIDO, ADFS 3.0, VPNs, and RADIUS-based services).

The solution: ESET Secure Authentication.

Powerful and easy-to-implement multi-factor authentication for businesses of all sizes. Businesses benefit from the following advantages:

• Prevention of data protection incidents.
• Meeting compliance requirements
• Centralized control via the browser
• Can be used via mobile phone or existing HW tokens

Two-factor authentication made easy

Authentication is simple: just confirm the code via your mobile phone. Works on iOS and Android smartphones and for all platforms and services.

Cloud support

In addition to protecting local applications, ESET Secure Authentication can be used to protect web and cloud services such as Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, Dropbox and many others by integrating the ADFS 3.0 or SAML protocol.

Different authentication methods

ESET Secure Authentication supports push notifications, the provision of one-time passwords via the mobile client application, SMS or existing hardware tokens, as well as FIDO-based keys and user-defined methods.

Examples of use

PROBLEM:
It’s not uncommon for employees to use the same passwords for different applications and websites. This poses a high security risk for businesses.
SOLUTION:

•     Further secure access to company resources with two-factor authentication.
•     Thanks to the use of multi-factor authentication, insecure or stolen passwords are no longer a problem.

ESET Secure Authentication Features

Remote management

ESET Secure Authentication uses a specially designed management console accessible via a web browser. You can choose to integrate with Active Directory, but you can also use the solution in environments without Active Directory. After installation, no additional training or professional services are required to configure and use ESET Secure Authentication.

Installation in just 10 minutes

We designed the solution to be easy to install and use, even in small businesses without an in-house IT department. Regardless of your company’s size, installing ESET Secure Authentication takes very little time thanks to the ability to configure multiple users simultaneously.

No additional equipment required

No additional hardware is required for ESET Secure Authentication. As soon as the 10 MB application is installed on your server, you can use it immediately.

Compatible with all common smartphones

Your employees can continue using the smartphones they already use. No additional hardware is required for ESET Secure Authentication. We also support physical keys, but this is optional.

Including SDK and API

We offer both an SDK and an API to customize the functionality. This allows businesses to develop ESET Secure Authentication to suit their needs and extend it to their own applications or web services.

Push authentication

Convenient authentication without entering a one-time password thanks to push notification confirmation. Works on iOS and Android smartphones.
