Here’s a look at the evolution of multi-factor authentication and how MFA is advancing even further to protect businesses from emerging cyber threats. MFA may seem relatively new, but it has actually been around for quite a while. The process usually goes like this: you enter your password, the site or app asks you to provide a second form of authentication (such as a code that is texted to your phone or generated on your phone using an authenticator app), you provide that second form of authentication, and the site or app gives you access to your account. With a newly enhanced LastPass Authenticator app, new integrations with top VPN providers, and a refreshed MFA admin experience, admins can seamlessly choose the right level of protection for their organization, without causing end-user confusion.By this point, you’ve probably used multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure one or more of your online accounts at work. “When employees are accessing company information outside of the traditional corporate perimeter, it’s critical for IT to ensure the employee logging in is who they say they are. LastPass VP of product management at LogMeIn, Dan DeMichele explained in a press release how the company's new additions can be especially helpful for organizations whose employees are still working from home, saying: Currently LastPass supports MFA for VPNs from Cisco, F5, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Pulse Secure, SonicWall and OpenVPN.įinally, admins will be able to add multi-factor authentication to their endpoints later in the second quarter through a new admin experience that increases visibility and streamlines MFA deployment.
According to a blog post from LastPass, MFA for VPN is made possible through the LastPass Universal Proxy which supports both the RADIUS and LDAP authentication protocols.
