John (fictitious), head of the IT department at an ICT company, recently reviewed security challenges associated with SaaS adoption. The report reveals that most of the security incidents with SaaS are caused by unmanaged issues and confirms that proxy authentication issues are occurring. Especially because the weak password environment facilitates access for any users or the access is accidentally given to unauthorized users.
Managing the situation was becoming harder as security breaches were increasing due to many employees already using SaaS applications as well as unauthorized applications. There were even phishing attacks disguised as trusted SaaS pages or domains, and malicious email attacks disguised as normal business content. Everything revealed that user authentication issues were arising.
While looking into cloud SaaS authentication, John found out that the SaaS service currently used by his company supports FIDO2 authentication standards. He also found out through one of Gartner's market reports that OCTATCO is one of the leading FIDO2 global sample vendors. John discussed his SaaS authentication concerns with Octa (fictitious), our customer support representative, who suggested using Octaco's FIDO2-certified fingerprint security key EzFinger. By providing our passwordless fingerprint security key to users and administrators using SaaS applications, they can log in more easily while security risks are eliminated thanks to a safer and stronger FIDO2-enabled authentication solution. EzFinger security key is a quick and cost-efficient solution to improve authentication as it doesn't require investments in additional systems.
When the management agreed to the security key implementation, John purchased many EzFinger and distributed them to all the employees, converting their traditional authentication method into a passwordless fingerprint authentication. The vulnerabilities of password authentication were eliminated by using the FIDO2-certified biometric security keys, preventing malicious attacks such as phishing, spoofing, sniffing, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The company reported fewer security breaches, no account takeover, and improved user identification, resulting in a reduction of time spent on password management for the security team. It was also reported that about 2,000 employees saved 18,250 hours of invisible work time in a year thanks to our more convenient authentication solution and that employees' satisfaction had improved because they felt less stress related to authentication. At first, John had a lot of concerns about user authentication for SaaS applications but OCTATCO's FIDO-enabled passwordless biometric authentication solution has helped solve security issues, allowing the IT and security teams to focus on their core tasks.
Connect to any device with a USB- C or USB-A port and with only one touch you can log in to your PC and any web service supporting FIDO authentication such as MS 365, G-mail, or Facebook.
The world’s first quantum fingerprint security key provides true randomness, which completely eliminates the risk of predictability by overcoming the limitations of existing traditional random number generation technology. The FIDO and Windows Hello certifications allow a convenient and secure integration with various systems.
The first adaptable fingerprint security key can be connected to the desktop cradle or directly to the laptop enabling users to use it anywhere at any time.
Samsung Life Insurance executives and employees use EzFinger2 passwordless authentication. EzFinger2 fingerprint security key creates a convenient passwordless authentication environment without investment in additional systems.
Biometric authentication is the strongest authentication method that accurately identifies and authenticates a user using strong encryption technology and stores biometric and encryption key information in the hardware secure area that can never be accessed from outside.
