SecurID is also customizable to meet specific MFA needs, he says: “Under its risk-based capabilities, you can set granular policies based on user type or any use case that fits your business. You could use an app on user phones or offer passwordless authentication with a USB key.”
Finally, Hafizji notes that SecurID can be deployed and integrated in whatever way works best for a business. “It can be 100 percent hosted in the cloud, 100 percent on-premises, using a virtual appliance or hybrid configuration, depending on your preference. It integrates with Software as a Service (SaaS), remote access, VPNs, firewalls, legacy apps, cloud-based apps, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and privileged access management (PAM).”
Three Key Benefits of RSA SecurID
SecurID from RSA helps companies achieve MFA — but it also helps them manage evolving security requirements. As noted by Hafizji, SecurID offers ongoing benefits in three key areas:
- Empowering identity assurance and access capability. "The solution is secure, scalable and reliable,” he says, “and it’s a tested ecosystem with step-by-step instructions.”
- Ensuring a flexible approach. “If users have established a level of trust, SecurID lets them access multiple applications and services,” says Hafizji. “It can be tailored to the users and the use case.”
- Enabling a convenient user experience. Hafizji puts it simply: “Security has to be convenient or you won’t get the right reception from users.” SecurID offers a host of authentication options to meet user needs, including tokens, key fobs, apps and push notifications, biometric device and wearables, along with support for FIDO-based authenticators.
Multifactor authentication is now critical to reducing the risk of access-based attacks, but challenges around integration and implementation can hinder rather than help these efforts at scale.
SecurID helps you succeed in these efforts.
