What is MFA?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring two or more verification factors, such as passwords, devices, or biometrics, to protect against unauthorized access and reduce credential theft.
What is SOC?
A SOC monitors, detects, and responds to threats 24/7, ensuring security and compliance while minimizing downtime. Cybernexa’s tools enhance SOC efficiency with AI-driven detection and automation.
What is Federated SSO?
Federated SSO allows users to access multiple services with one login across domains. It uses protocols like SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. Key benefits include enhanced security, improved user experience, and cost efficiency, benefiting organizations, educational institutions, and healthcare providers needing secure, seamless cross-domain access.
Authentication VS Authorization
Authentication verifies a user's identity, while authorization defines the access level granted to that user. Authentication confirms "who you are" through methods like passwords or biometrics. Authorization determines "what you can do," such as using role-based access control (RBAC). Both work together to secure systems and resources.
What is IAM?
IAM secures access by verifying identities and managing permissions, protecting data and systems. It prevents breaches, ensures compliance, and improves efficiency. Cybernexa’s solutions like CyLock MFA and SSO provide seamless, robust IAM.
What is FIDO2?
FIDO2 is a passwordless authentication standard using cryptography for secure logins with devices like security keys or biometrics. It enhances security and user experience. Cybernexa’s CyLock Passwordless Authentication integrates FIDO2 for improved security and simplified access.
What is LDAP?
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol for managing and accessing directory data like user accounts. It supports authentication and authorization and is often integrated with Active Directory. Security is enhanced using SSL/TLS for encrypted communication between clients and servers.
What is VPN?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) secures internet connections by encrypting traffic and routing it through remote servers. It enhances privacy, bypasses geo-restrictions, and ensures secure remote access. VPNs use protocols like OpenVPN, IPsec, and WireGuard, with authentication methods including passwords, certificates, and multi-factor authentication.
