Biopass overview
As the security landscape continues to grow increasingly complex, harbouring an arsenal of threats and vulnerabilities, it is high time for organizations to formulate a robust cybersecurity strategy. One needs to consider that enterprises experience a loss of $3.92 million on average due to data breaches.1
Also, as the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world, most organizations made a quick transition to a remote workforce and a more intense focus on serving customers through digital channels. The digital response to the COVID-19 crisis has also created new security vulnerabilities. 2
What is Biopass?
Biopass is a simple yet sophisticated tool to address today's security needs of organisations.
Biopass is an identity provider and access management software emphasizing on state-of-the-art liveness techniques to provide fast secure passwordless login to users. In addition, it allows cyber security teams of organisations to define policies on locations, networks, authenticators, operating systems or browsers. Moreover, admins can monitor users' login information, detect threats and block login attempts for particular users or applications. Briefly:
- Different ways to employ Biopass
i. Biopass can give passwordless authentication to provide fast secure login to your applications.
ii. Biopass MFA (Multi-factor authentication) also can be added to your conventional username-password authentication. - Add trustworthiness to user authentication
i. Biopass can verify the identity of the user behind the device with state-of-the-art liveness techniques
ii. It also can give the opportunity to verify users with strong world-renowned FIDO protocol authenticators.
iii. Users can use OTP in offline modes to verify themselves. - Security policies can be made to ensure authentications are reliable based on locations, networks, authenticators, operating systems or browsers.
- Admins can monitor authentication logs in Biopass portal, detect threats and block suspicious login attempts for particular users or applications.
Passwordless authentication does not require user to enter username & password
Multi-factor authentication has two stages.
First verifying user with username & password, second authenticating with a reliable authenticator
What is passwordless authentication?
Passwordless authentication is a method of authenticating users into a system without requiring them to enter a password. Instead, it uses alternative methods like biometric identification, one-time codes sent via SMS or email, or using a device's security key to verify the user's identity. The goal of passwordless authentication is to increase security and convenience, while reducing the risk of password-related security breaches.
What is MFA authentication?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security process where a user provides two or more authentication factors to verify their identity. This means that in addition to a password, a second authentication factor, such as a security token, biometric scan, or SMS code, is required to gain access to an account or system. MFA adds an extra layer of security to help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Why Biopass?
Biopass has used a cutting-edge liveness technology for authentication which determines if a user is a real, live human or an impostor using a fake or impersonated representation such as photo, video, deepfake, mask, and 3D model attacks. Flexibile security policy , admin, fido
