Two-step verification (2FA)
for the organization’s core systems
Why 2FA matters
All organizations operating in the digital age operate in centralized computing environments. New organizations established in recent years often start operations directly in the cloud, where two-factor authentication (2FA) is already an integral part of the system.
But what about older organizations? Many have moved to cloud services like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Salesforce and do benefit from 2FA protection there. However, migrating to the cloud creates a dangerous situation – they “forget” about the local on-prem infrastructures still running:
- File servers
- Active Directory systems
- Virtual environments
- Communications systems and firewalls
- and other critical systems
Too often we see these systems perceived as “outdated” and mistakenly assumed to not support two-factor authentication. As a result, CIOs may tick “Does the organization have a multi-factor authentication solution” in surveys and questionnaires, while the most critical infrastructure remains exposed!
Think about this: After all, today it would be unthinkable to pay with Google Pay without fingerprint authentication, or to log in to email or Facebook with just a username and password. So why settle for a lower level of security for your core infrastructure, where all of your organization’s critical information is stored?
The statistics speak for themselves: Between 60% and 80% of cyberattacks begin with identity theft, password theft, or account takeover (e.g., through phishing). In 2023, it was reported that no less than 79% of companies had experienced employee identity theft. Identity theft of an administrator in an organization can be catastrophic, causing millions in damage and even leading to the closure of the company.
The Sinopia solution
At Sinopia, you receive comprehensive protection for your organization’s identities through an advanced mechanism, which allows us to protect even systems that, according to their manufacturers, cannot be protected with two-step verification. For example:
- VMware – The leading software vendor for virtual systems does not natively support two-factor authentication for users from your on-premises Active Directory. Our solution allows you to add this layer of protection.
- Storage and communication systems – We can add an additional layer of security even to older systems.
- Laptops – A protection system that requires physical proximity of the mobile phone to the computer to allow access.
With our solution, organizations not only receive improved security, but also better visibility into user activity within the organization.
Advanced security alongside organizational efficiency
At Sinopia, we understand that excessive security can hurt productivity. Therefore, our solution finds a way to protect your organization, without complicating everyday work:
- Option to set authentication every X hours (rather than at every login)
- Defining cases where additional verification is not required
- Personalization to fit your organization’s needs
Our approach focuses on users, ensuring that security supports your business instead of stifling it. The system is convenient and user-friendly, and its implementation in many cases is easy and smooth, thanks to our rich experience in the field.
When others say it’s “impossible” to add a two-step verification layer, we provide a solution that works.
