SecureAuth announced its Arculix Universal
Authentication Fabric to further strengthen the technology to enable
organizations for passwordless continuous authentication. Arculix Universal
Authentication Fabric is a technology framework that delivers
authentication driven by AI/ML behavioral modeling, continuous risk scoring and
eliminates logging in making passwords obsolete. For users, it's a one-and-done
event for accessing their relevant apps, VDI or SSO. For companies, it's a
robust authentication with continuous authentication in the background without
any friction to the user.
"Historically, a single source to define and
administer policy and processes for all users has been absent," said Paul
Trulove, CEO of SecureAuth. "Fraud, credential stuffing and attacks will
continue to evolve as bad actors thwart existing security approaches.
SecureAuth's Universal Authentication Fabric delivers the first risk-based
analytics approach as a consolidated backbone for continuous, multi-factor, and
passwordless
authentication with the highest level of security as well as a
frictionless experience for users."
Between authenticating to the workstation, an SSO
portal or federated web apps, VDIs, VPN, and PAM solutions, the typical user
authenticates 16 times a day using three different sets of username and
password. This is simultaneously insecure and a poor user experience. With
Arculix Universal Authentication Fabric, users can login once and securely
access the applications needed to do their job. Arculix Universal
Authentication Fabric allows users to attain a level of assurance needed to
authenticate with its patented behavioral AI/ML risk analytics engine. To
ensure there is no account takeover (ATO), it generates a score at the
beginning of a user logging in that is used to grant access to web apps,
servers and services without requiring another factor check. This removes the
need for siloed systems to authenticate users.
"SecureAuth's Arculix Universal Authentication Fabric is the
underlying element for the new 360-degree cybersecurity perimeter that every
enterprise needs: Continuous, Holistic and Adaptive," said Alfredo Estirado,
CEO of Grupo TRC. "As a key partner of SecureAuth, we are excited to offer this
to our customers across various geographies."
Key capabilities include expansion of passwordless features into
endpoints, including access to persistent and non-persistent VDIs, in the same
passwordless way a user authenticates to a standard machine. This enables a
passwordless authentication journey whether in or out of the office. This
Universal Authentication Fabric also supports our device trust support for
seamless passwordless authentication for transient virtual desktops and
physical desktops.
