Privileged Access Security: How MFA from Segura protects your key assets

In modern IT infrastructures, protecting privileged accounts is a top priority. These accounts (administrators, system engineers, developers) are the primary target for malicious actors. Compromising such access can lead to catastrophic consequences. The Segura platform offers a comprehensive approach to this problem, where multi-factor authentication (MFA) plays a central role.

Why Passwords Are Not Enough to Protect Privileged Accounts

Privileged accounts provide access to the "heart" of a company: servers, databases, and network equipment. Using only a password to protect them creates an unacceptable risk. The Segura solution eliminates this vulnerability by requiring additional, independent factors to verify identity, making unauthorized access virtually impossible.

How Adaptive MFA Works in the Segura Solution

The Segura platform integrates a flexible and powerful MFA system that supports a variety of authentication methods. This allows for the creation of granular access policies adapted to the risk level of each operation. The main factors used in the system are:

What You Know (Knowledge)

• Example: A traditional password or PIN code, which acts as the first level of verification.

What You Have (Possession)

• Example: One-time codes from mobile apps (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator), hardware tokens, or push notifications to a smartphone.

Who You Are (Inherence)

• Example: Integration with biometric systems that confirm identity via fingerprint or facial scans.

The Segura solution allows for combining these factors, ensuring the appropriate level of security for each resource.

Protecting privileged access is not an option, but the foundation of stable and secure business operations.

Key Advantages of the Segura MFA Platform

• Centralized Management: All MFA policies are configured and controlled from a single Segura PAM management console.
• Granular Access Control: The ability to set different MFA requirements for different systems, users, or even specific teams.
• Full Audit and Reporting: Every access and authentication attempt is logged, which simplifies incident investigation and compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Seamless Integration: The solution integrates easily with existing infrastructure without disrupting user workflows.
