RANKING AUTHENTICATION METHODS (AND CHOOSING THE RIGHT ONE)

Check out our guide that ranks the different authentication methods that BIO-key
PortalGuard supports. The guide compares the methods against each other in
security, convenience, and cost.

MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION


CONSOLIDATE YOUR MFA STRATEGY UNDER ONE SET OF SECURITY POLICIES.

Most organizations today understand that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is
the standard for preventing unauthorized access and have implemented a variety
of authentication methods to meet necessary requirements in security, usability,
and flexibility. However, by deploying disparate solutions that do not exist
under a single security policy, it becomes unnecessarily expensive and difficult
for IT teams to manage.

MFA with PortalGuard allows you to consolidate and aggregate existing methods
under a single, unified IAM platform, and add in more powerful authentication
methods like Identity-Bound Biometrics, to further strengthen your
cybersecurity.

BENEFITS


Identity-Bound Biometrics

Used for authentication and identification, IBB centrally stores biometric data
in a non-reversible way, to create a unique biometric identity that’s used to
verify the actual person taking action – not just their password, token or
approved device.


Hybrid Environment & Desktop Support

PortalGuard can be used to secure logins from both the browser and desktop with
flexible options for multi-factor authentication, Identity-Bound Biometrics, and
self-service password reset.


Consolidation & Aggregation

Users enjoy adaptive MFA with PortalGuard allows businesses to consolidate
existing authentication methods under a single, unified IAM platform to avoid
unnecessarily high costs and unmanageable situations for IT teams.

PORTALGUARD MFA USE CASES

Multi-factor authentication with PortalGuard supports the following business use
cases and authentication approaches:

Passwordless Authentication

With multiple web applications being accessed, IT staff often struggle to manage
multiple user repositories while the help desk continues to receive more
password-related tickets. BIO-key PortalGuard eliminates password prompts and
gives users a single secure point of access to all their applications. In
addition to lightening the load for IT staff, users do not need to struggle to
remember long, complex passwords or adhere to unmanageable password policies.

Adaptive Authentication

Adaptive authentication is a form of multi factor authentication that considers
the context of the end user’s access request. The authentication process
identifies contextual parameters like location, device, network, application,
and time of day. PortalGuard’s Adaptive Authentication provides organizations
with insight into user access scenarios allowing them to make security and
usability adjustments transparently to the user and dynamically adjust the
authentication method to what is appropriate based on the user’s situation.

Remote Workforce + Remote Access

While the shift to a more remote workforce offers great work-life balance and
flexibility, it also offers cybercriminals an opportunity to successfully carry
out an attack. Now more than ever, there are more potential points of attack –
many of which have fewer cybersecurity protections than traditional office
buildings. With Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB), the person’s identity is
verified, and IT teams can confidently and consistently ensure that only
approved and legitimate users are accessing protected information.

Customer IAM Capabilities

Whether your business has 200 or 2 million customers, the priority is the same:
provide all customers with a secure, seamless and easy-to-use security solution.
With BIO-key PortalGuard, strong, reliable multi-factor authentication (MFA)
supports single sign-on, self-service password reset, self-registration and
account management that’s ideal for securing your customers’ access.

Cyber Insurance

In 2022, the average cost of a ransomware breach is $4.26 million, and depending
on the industry, this number may be higher (healthcare and finance in
particular). PortalGuard is a great choice for MFA that fulfills cyber insurance
requirements. It offers flexible authentication options and aggregates your
current solutions under a single set of policies for your remote and on-premises
users.

SUPPORTED AUTHENTICATION METHODS

Check out the Multi-factor Authentication methods that PortalGuard MFA supports
here.

SECURITY QUESTIONS

Challenge Questions & Answers are one of the original and older methods of
authentication. Users provide answers to previously enrolled questions. The
enrollment is completed by either an admin or the user during the first-time
logging into the system.

SMS OTP

The SMS Delivery Method (often referred to simply as ‘Phone’) involves The SMS
delivery method (often referred to simply as ‘phone’) involves sending an SMS
text message to an enrolled mobile phone number. This SMS text message contains
a One-Time Passcode (OTP) that can only be used once to validate the user for a
specific action.

EMAIL OTP

The Email Delivery method involves sending an email to an enrolled email
address. This email contains an OTP to validate the user to the PortalGuard
System for a specific action. Administrators have full control over the length,
character set, and validity of OTPs utilized by this option. These settings are
shared by the ‘SMS’ OTP type as well.

MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR APP

These applications generate a Time-Based One-Time Passcode (TOTP) and are
installed on the user’s device. When authenticating the user will be prompted to
locate and open the app on their device and then enter in the TOTP that is
shown.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

A push token is an ‘out-of-band’ second factor tied to a mobile device. This
second factor allows end-users to confirm or deny an authentication request by
interacting with their mobile device in real-time. No codes need to be
remembered – just tap yes or no on the screen to confirm the authentication
request.

FIDO2/WEBAUTHN (HARDWARE TOKENS)

FIDO2 (AKA WebAuthn) differs from FIDO U2F in that it is designed for a
“password-less” approach to secure authentication. Functionally, FIDO2 tokens
support the same usage as FIDO U2F, though utilizing a different industry
standard and browser-based API. FIDO2 Tokens support one of two usage types:
Click to Authenticate or On-Device Authentication. Click to Authenticate
requires a tap/click of the token while On-Device Authentication detects the
FIDO2 request and automatically responds, allowing the authentication action to
proceed without any additional actions from the user.

WEB-KEY (IDENTITY-BOUND BIOMETRICS)

WEB-key is an enterprise-grade Identity-Bound Biometrics platform from BIO-key.
IBB creates a centralized unique biometric identity that can be used to verify
you anywhere. The primary method for capturing the biometric is by using a
fingerprint scanner.

BIO-KEY MOBILEAUTH (IDENTITY-BOUND BIOMETRICS)

As the only multi-factor authentication app to offer Identity-Bound Biometric
authentication options, BIO-key MobileAuth™  safeguards access to critical data
with authentication that verifies the user, offers multiple, easy to use
authentication methods for users to choose from all while reducing operational
costs for IT departments.

INTEGRATED DEVICE-BASED BIOMETRICS

Integrated device-based biometrics refers to biometric methods where all
processing, matching, and authenticating of the biometric is completed on the
device. This includes methods such as Touch ID and Face ID on iOS devices,
biometric authentication on Android devices, and Windows Hello on Windows
devices.

PROXIMITY CARDS

Proximity Cards (Prox Cards) are physical cards that allow authentication based
off a stored encoded number. These cards can be used by holding them up to an
electronic reader, which can detect and pull that encoded number, decode it, and
pass that value to the connected device for authentication. Prox cards are
contactless, meaning no contact needs to be made between the person holding the
card and the reader. The cards support distances from 1 to 20 inches, depending
on the version of the card.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


EASY ADMINISTRATION

Self-Service Enrollment

Users can register themselves for both self-service password reset and MFA in
one step.

Policy & Settings

Highly configurable policy management that allows authentication to be applied
to specific users and/or groups.

Reporting & Auditing

Detailed audit reports of all login activity available to meet security and
compliance requirements.
