Secfense implements strong authentication mechanisms at the Ministry of Infrastructure

The Ministry of Infrastructure has selected the User Access Security Broker offered by Secfense to support 2FA (two-factor) authentication using U2F/FIDO hardware keys. The tool will also secure electronic document management applications and the ministry’s e-mail.

A U2F (Universal 2nd Factor) dongle is a physical device that serves as a second factor of authentication in online security systems. By introducing this solution, institutions increase the security of the login process because even if the password is stolen or broken, access to the account is impossible without physical access to the key.

Adding the second authentication factor, including the ability to use a U2F dongle, to existing applications can be problematic. It requires programmers’ work, code changes, and time. However, there are solutions that make this process much easier and faster. Secfense provided the Ministry of Infrastructure with its User Access Security Broker (UASB), which allows for the rapid implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA).

User Access Security Broker allows you to cover any system and application with strong authentication, including the phishing-resistant FIDO2 standard, without interfering with their code. This is a great convenience for companies and organizations that are aware of the growing number of cyber threats and want to quickly and effectively increase the security of their users and their data – explains Tomasz Kowalski, co-founder and CEO of Secfense.

UASB enables you to implement MFA on any application in 5 minutes and to roll out MFA across your organization in 7 to 14 days. The solution ensures the safety of stationary and remote employees, customers, and contractors.

UASB is a part of Secfense Suite, which offers organizations unmatched access to security and identity management. It shields against phishing, enables seamless passwordless authentication, and ensures compliance with regulations, all while maintaining full control over user management.

Testimonials

We are faced with new challenges every day. We must always be one step ahead of the attackers and know what they are going to do before they do it. We are convinced that the User Access Security Broker will bring security to a new level, both for those working at the office and from home. For us, working with Secfense is an opportunity to exchange experience with developers who put great value on out-of-the-box thinking.

As part of the pre-implementation analysis, we verified that users utilize a wide range of client platforms: desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and traditional mobile phones. Each of these devices differs in technological advancement, features, and level of security. Because of this, and also due to the recommendation of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), we decided to introduce additional protection in the form of multi-factor authentication mechanisms based on FIDO. As a result, users of our applications can log in safely, avoiding common cyber threats such as phishing, account takeover, and theft of their own and their clients’ data.

Before investing in Secfense, we had the opportunity to talk to its existing clients. Their reactions were unanimous: wow, it’s so easy to use. We were particularly impressed by the fact that implementing their solution does not require the involvement of IT developers. It gives Secfense a huge advantage over the competition, and at the same time opens the door to potential customers who so far were afraid of changes related to the implementation of multi-factor authentication solutions.

Even when the network and infrastructure are secured enough, social engineering and passwords can be used to gain control of the system by attackers. Multifactor authentication is the current trend. Secfense addresses this and allows you to build zero trust security and upgrade your current systems to passwordless applications within minutes, solving this problem right away,” said Eduard Kučera, Partner at Presto Ventures and cybersecurity expert – former Director in hugely successful Czech multinational cyber security firm Avast.

One of the biggest challenges the world is facing today is securing our identity online. That’s why we were so keen to have Secfense in our portfolio. They make it possible to introduce strong authentication in an automated way. Until now, organizations had to selectively protect applications because the deployment of new technology was very hard, or even impossible. With Secfense, the implementation of multi-factor authentication is no longer a problem, and all organizations can use the highest standards of authentication security.

Two-factor authentication is known to be one of the best ways to protect against phishing; however, its implementation has always been difficult. Secfense helped us solve that problem. With their security broker, we were able to introduce various 2FA methods on our web applications at once.
