Double Identity Verification

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a preventive protection strategy that offers an extra layer of security by requiring a user to enter more than a username and password. The service complements managed secure user virtual private network (VPN) service and other critical applications requiring stronger identity access management. Implement 2FA as a best-practice security methodology and comply with data protection requirements associated with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and other industry and government compliance mandates. Choose from mobile device and desktop software token authenticators or use short messaging service (SMS) to generate one-time passcodes (OTP).

Benefits: Mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data Enforce consistent access policies across information technology infrastructure Increase user convenience through enterprise identity federation Extend secure access to mobile endpoints governed by corporate policy Address different risk levels with a variety of authentication methods Reduce support costs with full management by Expedient Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) service among common applications for convenience Ensure high availability and performance of authentication consumed as a service Maintain compliance with auditing and reporting requirements

2FA utilizes something you know (username and password) and something you have (one-time generated passcodes).
