A Security Enhancement You Need

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) protects your applications by using a second source of validation, like a phone or token, to verify user identity before access is granted.

Designed for the modern workforce and backed by a Zero Trust philosophy, Elite’s MFA is delivered and managed over a user-friendly, scalable access security platform that keeps your business ahead of ever-changing security threats.

A Heavy-Duty Layer of Security to Your Business

The Zero Trust is a security framework requires all users, whether in or outside the organisation’s network, to be authenticated, authorised and continuously validated. This enables security configuration and posture before access is granted or is kept only to certain applications and data.

With multi-factor authentication solutions from Elite, you can easily bolster your business’s security with award-winning technical support.

Key Features

Easily deployed, seamlessly integrated, universally trusted.

Verify Identity in Seconds

Although it represents an extra step towards access, MFA can be completed by users in seconds and quickly becomes a normalised process.

Protect Any Application on Any Device

Expand secure access beyond traditional perimeter-based network security with the power to grant access to any application or user, from any device.

Easily Deployed in Any Environment

MFA can be integrated into any existing environment or platform while self-enrolment features make it easy for users to get set up.

Trusted Endpoints

Define and manage trusted endpoints and grant secure access to your organisation's applications with device certificates, application verification, or management status.

Business Benefits

Why Choose Us?

Elite are experts in helping businesses collaborate and communicate in a secure, productive, and profitable way, wherever you or your employees are located.

Security

MFA adds a heavy-duty layer of security and authentication to you applications. If an application can be logged into it over the internet, it should be protected with more than just a username and password.

Collaboration

A single application to handle your MFA reduces the risk of lost or forgotten passwords that impedes your ability to access collaborative projects.

Productivity

Reducing the reliance on passwords and the need for password changes means employees spend less time locked out of systems or waiting for passwords to be reset.

Profitability

Unlike many legacy authentication methods, MFA has a positive impact on Total Cost of Ownership. It requires no on-site hardware, only minimal configuration, and, in many cases, can fully replace existing login methods.

Multi-Factor Authentication Frequently Asked Questions

2FA is a subset of MFA. There are as many potential factors of authentication as there are ways to confirm a user’s identity (location, fingerprints, face, security keys). Any security protocol that involves three or more is considered to be MFA

2FA is the foundational element of a Zero Trust security model. In order to protect sensitive data, you must verify that users trying to access that data are who they say they are. For example, let’s say you use a username and password to complete primary authentication for an application.
That information is sent over the internet (your primary network) but you’ll want to use a different (out-of-band) channel to complete your second factor. Approving a push notification sent over your mobile network is an example of out-of-band authentication.

So why does it matter? If a remote attacker is able to tap into your computer via your internet connection, they can steal your password and your second form of authentication if both are delivered over the same channel.
Without your physical device, remote attackers can’t pretend to be you in order to gain unauthorised access to the likes of corporate networks, cloud storage and financial information that are stored in applications. By integrating 2FA with your applications, attackers are unable to access your accounts without possessing your physical device needed to complete the second factor.

The Zero Trust approach to security works on the basis that location-based trust is no longer enough to prevent unauthorised access to applications and data. The traditional ‘perimeter’, defined by known networks and environments, is breached by BYOD and remote work. Zero Trust addresses this by establishing trust for every access request, regardless of location, with trust levels that are dynamic and can adapt as your business evolves.

2FA is a specific type of MFA that strengthens security access by requiring two methods to verify identity. These factors can include something known, like a username and password and then something owned, like a smartphone app. 2FA protects against phishing, social engineering and password brute-force attacks, securing your logins from attackers looking to exploit weak or stolen credentials.

2FA protects against phishing, social engineering and password brute-force attacks and secures your logins from attackers exploiting weak or stolen credentials. This dramatically improves the security of login attempts. 2FA has also been shown to block nearly all automated bot-related attacks.

We recommend push-based 2FA, U2F and WebAuthn as these make it difficult for an attacker to pose as an authorised user. Push-based 2FA: Most push-based authentications can't be approved unless a user's phone is unlocked.

This requirement makes push-based 2FA more secure than passcode-based 2FA, which often delivers a code that can be seen on lock screens or other SMS-enabled devices. With push-based 2FA, simple security measures like a passcode or biometric identification go a long way, protecting applications with a layer of information only device owners would possess.

U2F: With U2F-based 2FA, users initiate an authentication request and then approve it by tapping a USB device attached to their laptop, desktop, or smartphone. Unlike traditional security tokens, U2F devices are tamper-proof. Each device is associated with only one user, preventing imposters from posing as a trusted user, even if the device is lost or stolen.

WebAuthn: Like U2F-based authentication, WebAuthn-based authentication requires users to approve access requests via a mechanism that’s attached to their device. However, WebAuthn takes this principle further by tapping into users’ built-in biometric authenticators, negating the need for both passcodes and physical hardware. With WebAuthn, the world of information security moves one step closer to true password-less authentication.
