Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
The Password is Dead. Long Live Identity.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Relying solely on passwords is the single biggest security risk facing modern enterprises. 81% of hacking-related breaches leverage stolen or weak passwords. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) builds a formidable defense by requiring users to prove their identity in multiple ways before granting access.
We move beyond simple 2-step verification. Our intelligent MFA solutions combine “something you know” (password) with “something you have” (mobile device/token) and “something you are” (biometrics) to neutralize credential theft without slowing down your business.
Leveraging deep experience in cryptographic protocols, AlGebra delivers a hardened Strong Authentication architecture. Our methodology ensures your environment is configured to:
Streamline Secure Workflows: Seamlessly integrate strong authentication into the user journey, ensuring that “step-up” challenges happen smoothly at the point of need without breaking workflow momentum.
Neutralize Compromise: Move beyond static passwords to enforce dynamic defense. We ensure access is granted only after rigorous, multi-layered verification, rendering stolen passwords useless.
Enable Forensic Telemetry: Capture detailed authentication telemetry, creating an immutable record of successful challenges, failed attempts, and risk scores to support compliance and threat hunting.
Adaptive Risk-Based Authentication
- Not all logins are created equal. Our system evaluates the context of every access attempt—analyzing geolocation, device reputation, time of day, and impossible travel velocity.
- Invisible Security: Low-risk users (e.g., logging in from the office corporate network) experience zero friction.
- Dynamic Response: High-risk attempts (e.g., a login from an unknown device in a foreign country) automatically trigger step-up challenges.
- Zero Trust: Continuously verify trust rather than assuming it.
Broad Factor Support (FIDO2 & Biometrics)
- We support a wide array of verification methods to suit every user persona, from office workers to frontline staff. This includes Push Notifications, FIDO2/WebAuthn hardware keys (YubiKey), Biometrics (FaceID/TouchID), and TOTP apps.
- User Choice: Allow users to choose the method that works best for them.
- Phishing Resistance: Leverage FIDO2 hardware tokens to make credential phishing mathematically impossible.
- Offline Access: Securely authenticate even when the user is without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.
Passwordless Authentication
- Eliminate the password entirely. Using cryptographic keys stored on the user’s device (enabled via biometrics), users can log in with a simple glance or tap.
- Eliminate Attacks: You can’t steal a password that doesn’t exist.
- Superior UX: Provide the fastest, smoothest login experience possible.
- Reduced Costs: Eliminate the #1 cause of helpdesk tickets: password resets.
VPN & Infrastructure Protection (RADIUS)
- MFA isn’t just for web apps. We integrate deeply with your infrastructure using RADIUS and LDAP agents to secure VPNs, Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), and critical servers (SSH/RDP).
- Secure Remote Work: Ensure that only authorized employees can access the corporate network via VPN.
- Lateral Movement Protection: Require MFA for administrative access to servers, stopping attackers from moving internally.
Regulatory & Insurance Compliance
- Most cyber insurance policies and regulations (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-63) now strictly mandate MFA for remote access and admin accounts. AlGebra ensures you meet these requirements out of the box.
- Audit Ready: Generate instant reports proving MFA coverage across your user base.
- Insurability: Ensure your organization qualifies for cyber liability insurance policies.
Why AlGebra for MFA?
We understand that security controls that annoy users will eventually be bypassed. AlGebra deploys MFA that is intelligent, unobtrusive, and ironclad, ensuring that the only person accessing your data is the person supposed to be there.
