ESET, a global cybersecurity leader, has recently unveiled the cloud version of ESET Secure Authentication, an essential component of the ESET PROTECT Platform. This new release allows ESET customers to streamline their security infrastructure by integrating endpoint protection and multifactor authentication (MFA) from a single vendor, offering a seamless user experience with enhanced flexibility and convenience. By leveraging a variety of authentication methods within a unified and cost-effective solution, businesses of all sizes can now enhance their data protection efforts.
According to Michal Jankech, the Vice President of SMB and MSP segment at ESET, the introduction of the cloud version of ESET Secure Authentication addresses the critical issue of weak password practices that often result in data breaches. By providing a solution that is adaptable, scalable, and straightforward to implement, ESET aims to empower companies to bolster their data security protocols while also reducing overall ownership costs, thus delivering exceptional value to their clientele.
In the current cybersecurity landscape, cybercriminals frequently exploit vulnerable or stolen passwords obtained through various malicious tactics such as automated bots, phishing scams, or targeted assaults. To counteract these threats effectively, businesses can implement advanced MFA solutions to thwart unauthorized access attempts, particularly at the administrative level. ESET Secure Authentication offers a seamless means for companies of all sizes to deploy MFA across widely used systems like VPNs, Remote Desktop Protocol, Outlook Web Access, and operating system logins. The platform supports diverse technologies such as mobile apps with push notifications, hardware tokens, FIDO keys, and customized authentication methods.
The cloud version of ESET Secure Authentication will be accessible through the ESET PROTECT Elite subscription tier or as a standalone solution with no pricing modifications. This offering is ready for immediate adoption by new customers, with availability for all North America-based clients scheduled for later in Q4 of 2024.
