MFA for Parallels RAS
Parallels RAS (formerly 2X) is application virtualization software that delivers centrally-hosted Windows applications to local devices without the necessity of installing them.
With Parallels RAS, Windows applications can be used on devices that typically could not run them, including Mac & Linux computers, iOS & Android mobile devices, Google Chromebook thin client and HTML5 web browser.
Why Deepnet DualShield
Deepnet Security and Paralles have been technology partners for many years. Deepnet DualShield multi-factor authentication (MFA) component is natively built into the core of Parallels remote application server (RAS) by Parallels developers, providing strong multi-factor authentication to all Parallels RAS products with a native user interface and rich user experience. Although some other 3rd-party MFA products can be used with Parallels RAS via RADIUS, they simply can’t provide the same level of native & rich user experience and versatile MFA methods that Deepnet DualShield has delivered to the Paralles RAS users. This is why Deepnet DualShield is the de facto and most popular choice for Parallels RAS customers who need multi-factor authentication.
How it Works
Additional Benefits
Apart from native integration with Parallels RAS, Deepnet DualShield offers many key features that are benefitical to all customers.
Multiple Choices of MFA Methods
OTP SMS
When a user attempts to login, a real-time OTP (One-Time Passcode) is sent to the user’s mobile phone via SMS text, email message or voice call. Once the OTP has been received and submitted by the user, the user will then be granted access. It’s that simple! No hardware to carry, no software to download.
OTP Token
OTP token is a small security device that generates one-time passcodes. It is very convenient and it is very secure. OTP token is available in various form factors and shapes.
OTP App
OTP app is a small software application that runs on your mobile devices and generates one-time passwords. it works like a conventional hardware OTP token - generating OTP whenever and wherever you need it, without the need for Internet or data connection.
OTP Card
OTP Card is a one-time password token in the form factor of a plastic card - the same size as a credit card or an ID card.
OOBA
When a user attempts to login, a login request is pushed out to the user via the mobile push message. On the user's phone, the logon request will pop up and prompt the user to accept or deny by simply pressing the button.
Grid Card
A grid card contains a matrix of random numbers and letters in easily marked columns and rows. Grid cards are typically printed on credit card-sized plastic cards or on the back of employee access badges, credit cards or ATM cards.
Granular MFA Policies
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) does not have to be enabled on all users in your system, depending on your environment, requirements and the stage of MFA deployment. Flexible MFA policies allow admins to enforce multi-factor authentication based on a specific user, Active Directory group, or even by the end user’s device. Furthermore, different groups of users can also use different types of multi-factor authentication methods.Advanced Access Control
Prevent unauthorized remote access to confidential network information through advanced access control. Organizations can restrict access to sensitive material based on user, Active Directory group, IP address and GEO location.
