Third-party authentication is when you allow a vetted external provider to authenticate who a user is and take that as proof, rather than developing your own sign-in system. It can be a social login, an enterprise identity provider, or a specialized identity-as-a-service platform. With 3rd party authentication, the heavy lifting of...
Ever wondered how large companies manage thousands of employee logins, partner access, and customer authentication without collapsing under the weight of complexity? That’s where Enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) comes in. It’s not just about passwords. It’s about ensuring the right people have the right access to the right...
/by Ayush BhansaliAdaptive multi-factor authentication is MFA that alters its requirements depending on context. Rather than imposing the same additional step on all login attempts, it assesses risk indications such as device, location, time, and behavior, and applies the appropriate level of verification for that attempt.Adaptive multi factor authentication employs a risk engine...
/by Ayush BhansaliAs we continue further into 2025, the attack surface for organizations continues to grow: cloud-first architectures, hybrid workforces, IoT/OT convergence, and more advanced adversaries. The potential is greater than ever for enterprise security—a single breach can run millions, ruin reputation, and disrupt critical operations. Learning the top threats this year and...
/by Ayush BhansaliRemote work has revolutionized the business landscape. Remote access to company systems ensures flexibility and productivity for employees. Convenience, however, comes with huge security threats. Remote connections are made vulnerable as entry points by cybercriminals who find it easy to attack corporate networks. To defy this, organizations now depend more...
/by Ayush BhansaliGuaranteeing the reliability and safety of public infrastructure, from power plants and transportation networks to emergency services and public records, is a rising challenge. With cyber attacks increasing in complexity, cybersecurity for government operations is more than a priority; it's a national imperative. Public sector agencies must implement proactive and resilient security...
/by Ayush BhansaliMulti-Factor Authentication (MFA) is now one of the most reliable means of protecting enterprise systems, user credentials, and sensitive resources. But with security is always the issue of investment: how much does multi factor authentication cost? While MFA is critical for securing identity and access management, understanding its cost factors helps...
/by Ayush BhansaliOrganizations are continuously looking for more effective, convenient, and secure methods to control employee access that do not exclusively depend on legacy passwords. One of the innovations quickly gaining popularity is the employment of passkeys, a new standard that is making authentication smoother across devices and platforms. Organizations planning to...
/by Ayush BhansaliIn this day and age of constantly changing cybersecurity threats, organizations need to decide on the proper authentication protocol to protect their systems, data, and users. Two of the most widely used authentication methods are RADIUS and SAML. Although both have the same goal of granting access to users, they...
/by Ayush BhansaliIn the digital security domain, one-time passwords (OTPs) have become an essential part of identity verification tactics. OTPs are short-lived, single-use codes, and they are extensively utilized in multi-factor authentication (MFA) configurations to ward off unauthorized access. HOTP (HMAC-based One-Time Password) and TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) are two of the...
