1681401274390.jpeg

Executive Summary:

Traditional, static authentication methods leave your organization vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches. One-size-fits-all MFA can frustrate users and hinder productivity. Cymmetri's Adaptive Authentication solution intelligently tailors authentication requirements based on real-time risk factors, ensuring robust security without sacrificing user experience.

Challenges:

  • Static Access Control: Fixed authentication methods don't adapt to changing risks, leaving sensitive data exposed.
  • One-Size-Fits-All MFA: Rigid MFA frustrates users with unnecessary challenges for low-risk access attempts.
  • Shadow IT Risks: Unsanctioned applications bypass standard authentication, creating blind spots and potential breaches.
  • Compliance Complexity: Meeting data privacy regulations requires extensive effort to manually assess access risks.

Solution:

Cymmetri's Adaptive Authentication addresses these challenges through:

  • Real-Time Risk Scoring: Assesses risk based on user, device, location, time, application sensitivity, and threat intelligence.
  • Dynamic MFA: Adjusts authentication strength based on calculated risk, requiring stronger methods for high-risk scenarios.
  • Contextual Access Control: Grants or denies access based on a combination of risk factors and pre-defined policies.
  • Passwordless Options: Eliminate passwords for low-risk scenarios with biometrics, security keys, or magic links.
  • Shadow IT Visibility: Gain insights into unsanctioned applications and manage access accordingly.
  • Compliance Automation: Streamline compliance with automated risk assessments and reporting.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Security: Reduce cyberattacks and data breaches through dynamic risk-based authentication.
  • Improved User Experience: Eliminate unnecessary MFA friction for low-risk access, boosting user satisfaction.
  • Reduced IT Costs: Minimize helpdesk tickets for password resets and streamline access management.
  • Simplified Compliance: Automate compliance assessments and reporting, saving time and resources.
  • Increased Agility: Adapt security to evolving threats and application use cases with ease.

Target Audience:

This solution is ideal for organizations of all sizes seeking a dynamic approach to security, including:

  • Enterprises with complex IT environments and sensitive data
  • Businesses focused on improving user experience and productivity
