As an administrator, keeping your Active Directory (AD) environment secure falls on you! Relying on passwords only for authentication is asking for trouble, especially when users set weak passwords like Password@123. Administrators need a way to ensure users are who they say they are. One way to do that is by setting up two-factor authentication (2FA).
2FA ties something the user knows (username, password) to something the user has (authentication tokens, mobile push notification) and facilitates better authentication even in the case of remote logons.
Why 2FA is more secure
With 2FA in place, even if a user’s password falls into the wrong hands, the user account won’t be compromised. This helps organizations stay safe from password spray or brute force attacks.
The best place to implement 2FA is the Windows logon screen where most users first authenticate themselves. However, Windows systems that are part of Active Directory domains do not have an option to enable 2FA. So how do you set up 2FA for your AD environment?
We’ve got you covered! Join our webinar, “How to reinforce Windows login security with two-factor authentication,” hosted by our product expert, and learn how to enable 2FA for local and remote logons to Windows. Moreover, you’ll also learn how to:
-
Enable self-service password reset and account unlock for end users.
-
Enforce stringent password policies.
-
Enable secure, one-click access to over 100 enterprise applications through Active Directory-based single sign-on.
-
Implement all the above-mentioned features granularly based on OU/group memberships of users.
Busy that day? Go ahead and register anyway, and we’ll send a recording of the webinar right to your inbox.
