Deepnet Security » MFA for Computer Login

DualShield MFA for Computer Login adds multi-factor authentication to Windows Login, Mac Login and Linux login. It is the ideal on-premise multi-factor authentication system for business and government organisations who have deployed computers with a mix of operating systems.

DualShield MFA for Computer Login helps customers ensure that computers (Windows PCs and servers, Mac and Linux workstations), and network resources (shared network drive) are accessible only by authorized users, whether working locally inside the corporate firewall or remotely via remote desktop. Once fully implemented and enforced, users will be authenticated with two factors in order to gain access to the protected computers and network resources.

Basically, users can login to their computers with multi-factor authenticaiton anywhere as long as they have an Internet conection.

Flexible Policies

DualShield MFA provides a set of authentication and access control policies that enable granular administrative access control down to a user, machine, group or unit. For instance, in a circumstance where a user or machine needs to be exempted from two-factor authentication, the network administrator can put the user or machine in the exception list.
Staged Migration

DualShield MFA for Computer Logon supports the concurrent use of both AD password authentication and a strong 2nd-factor authentication for different users within the domain. The requirement for multi-factor authentication is controlled by a set of polices which can be applied to users, AD groups and OUs. This enables a staged, non-interruptive migration of users to strong authentication when convenient & appropriate.
