CYPHER CONNECT
CypherConnect is an authentication ecosystem that enables users to link to existing identity management systems (such as Azure AD), in a way that minimises duplication of systems and minimises change management. All Authorization, Authentication tokens and services are managed through the organisations identity management system (IDM).
Moreover, users can authenticate using whichever MFA the organisations has selected. Rather than treating edge devices separately, the workflow and security policies are simply extended to incorporate these for a seamless workflow experience.
Simplicity and flexibility has been core to designing the Cypher Connect ecosystem. To achieve this, the solution aims to align itself with what the organisation does to manage other sites or services.
Some of the key benefits of using the solution include:
-
The solution is simply registered as a supported app and all management of users, MFA requirements and SSO apps is managed through the organisations AAD.
-
User authentication leverages any number of popular MFA applications (such as Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, PING, etc) to make the logon experience simple.
-
Setting up conditional access based on sensitivity or security controls is simple and allows a more frictionless experience.
-
Compatible with most major BLE and NFC readers and cards, the solution allows user to log in with cards only or card and selected MFA.
-
Environments which do not have card readers deployed can use a simple QR code process to allow users to log in quickly and without the need of typing on the MFA device.
