Meet Okta Adaptive MFA

Okta Combines the Power of Big Data With Two-Factor Authentication - Seite 2

Adaptive, risk-based authentication leveraging Okta's expansive dataset: Okta Adaptive MFA will leverage risk profiling to make dynamic authentication decisions. Okta will make intelligent decisions and proactively protect organizations and industries by using behavioral patterns, combined with data from a network of global authentication trends to identify risk. Users will only be prompted for MFA when unusual or risky behavior is detected.

Integration with the VPNs and applications that organizations need: With Okta Adaptive MFA, organizations can take advantage of the 500+ SAML-enabled applications in the Okta Application Network. Through Okta's RADIUS server agent, customers can integrate VPN and other on-prem infrastructure to centrally enforce MFA for all applications and network access, and protect applications that do not natively support MFA or specific factors.

London Gatwick Airport Chooses Okta for MFA
Okta customer London Gatwick Airport, the second largest airport in the UK serving approximately 38 million annual passengers flying to 200+ destinations across 90 countries, chose Okta Adaptive MFA to secure access to cloud apps and the Internet for 2,600 employees.

"London Gatwick Airport's employees are not just located in an office -- they're based in airport security, on the airfield, or in the terminals, so we need secure communications and access anywhere, anytime," said Michael Ibbitson, CIO of London Gatwick Airport. "The risks involved make MFA for apps and services vital for data protection. We love the fact that Okta Adaptive MFA is easy to use and we can choose from factors like SMS and Okta Verify."
