Reduce risks with powerful and user-friendly multifactor authentication.
Every day, cybercriminals use stolen credentials to access and infect systems or steal data. To reverse this trend, it is crucial that authentication requires additional proof of identity beyond just a username and password, and that it is implemented by all companies widely, regardless of their size.
MFA wards off imposters
WatchGuard AuthPoint® is the right solution at the right time to address this security gap with easy-to-use multi-factor authentication on a cloud platform. With a simple push notification, the AuthPoint mobile app makes every login attempt visible, allowing the user to accept or block access directly from their smartphone. WatchGuard's unique approach adds the "cell phone DNA" as an identifying factor to ensure that only the correct person has access to confidential networks and online services.
Intuitive cloud management
MFA has been inaccessible for some organizations due to complex integrations and challenging on-premises management, making implementation difficult without a large IT team and significant upfront costs. In contrast, WatchGuard's AuthPoint solution is a cloud-based service, eliminating the need for expensive hardware deployment and enabling management from anywhere through the intuitive WatchGuard Cloud interface. Additionally, this ecosystem offers dozens of integrations with third-party applications, ensuring widespread MFA protection for access to applications, web services, VPNs, and confidential cloud networks. AuthPoint users can log in once to access multiple applications, and they can also leverage the option to add third-party authenticators like Facebook or Google Authenticator to the user-friendly mobile app.
