The proliferation of cloud applications has attracted unwanted attention from hackers who are now focusing their efforts on data in the cloud. Hackers can easily trick someone with a valid username and password into disclosing their credentials through a phishing attack. The traditional way of authenticating users through usernames and passwords just isn’t cutting it anymore.
MFA is a technique that enforces additional factors aside from usernames and passwords to fortify authentication for Active Directory, cloud applications, and more. Besides MFA, cloud applications can also be secured using custom password policies with advanced password security techniques. Learn more about these policies.
ADSelfService Plus, an Active Directory MFA, SSO, and self-service password management solution, protects access to cloud applications with strong MFA techniques such as phishing-resistant FIDO2 authentication and biometrics. On enabling SSO using ADSelfService Plus for cloud applications such as Google Workspace and Salesforce, you can easily secure user identities in the cloud.
When SSO is enabled, users must always authenticate themselves in ADSelfService Plus—first using their username and password and then through MFA authenticators chosen by you. Only then will users be able to access cloud applications. MFA for cloud applications ensures that even when hackers compromise a user's credentials, they cannot gain access to the cloud application and its data. ADSelfService Plus supports MFA for logins initiated by both identity providers (IdPs) and service providers (SPs).
