Acceptto, a leading
provider of Cognitive Continuous Authentication, today announced the extension
of its
Cognitive Continuous
Authentication eGuardian platform with an end-to-end
continuous multi-factor authentication (MFA) integration with leading cloud
platforms such as Citrix Workspace, Microsoft Azure, Salesforce, ServiceNow and
VMware. These integrations empower Acceptto to extend the Identity Access
Management (IAM) ecosystem, offering enterprise users a plug and play,
intelligent context-aware continuous authentication including post
authorization with the most popular cloud software providers, streamlining out
of the box integration.
"We're excited to be extending our continuous authentication
and contextual MFA offering to be easily integrated with these leading, global,
world-class cloud software providers, making it easier for CISOs and IT security
professionals to ensure that only the right people have access to the
privileged resources, for the right reasons," says Shahrokh Shahidzadeh, CEO at
Acceptto. "Thanks to our patented Biobehavioral approach which creates
immutable identity, we can successfully eliminate identity breaches and
credential stuffing. More importantly, enterprise customers and their employees
now have peace of mind knowing that there is an ongoing, continuous
authentication even post authorization."
Security and privacy breaches are extremely costly and have
a significant impact on the brand equity of an organization. Current
authentication solutions using rudimentary two-factor authentication (2FA) and
MFA impose significant friction through a variety of temporary and binary
controls that have all still proven ineffective safeguards against identity
spoofing and even basic credential stuffing attacks. Acceptto brings continuous
authentication to solutions that have historically used binary authentication,
which only determines access and does not account for misuse of credentials
once access is granted. Through the latest Acceptto integrated capabilities,
these solutions can now deploy continuous authentication to ensure proper use
of credentials throughout the entire session.
"A paradigm shift is necessary for authentication and
identity access management. As we move away from usernames, passwords and other
forms of temporal, binary and biometrics controls, there is a needed shift to a
new generation of behavioral modeling to improve the security of corporate
data," said Michael Osterman, principal analyst at Osterman Research, Inc.
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are definitely
becoming valuable capabilities as part of the next-generation of identity
access management solutions."
Using a mixture of artificial intelligence and machine
learning (AIML) powered expert systems and behavioral modeling, Acceptto
delivers radically transformative technology to mitigate identity impersonation
and access fraud while reducing friction for legitimate users, both for
enterprise and consumer facing applications and services. At the core of
the Cognitive Authentication platform
is eGuardian, the intelligent engine that drives the convergence of physical
identity and digital user DNA towards the creation of a resilient immutable
identity. The It'sMe single
sign-on (SSO) solution for web, mobile and enterprise applications, relieves
users from the challenges of passwords, eliminates the need for password resets
and reuse, and neutralizes account takeovers. With Cognitive Authentication,
there is no need for a password, ever.
