ADSelfService Plus helps IT admins secure Linux, Windows, MacOS users\u2019 access at the device level without exceeding their budget. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ManageEngine, the IT\nmanagement division of Zoho Corporation, has announced that\nADSelfService Plus, its integrated Active Directory (AD)self-service\npassword management and single sign-on solution, now offers Endpoint\nMulti-factor Authentication (MFA) for Linux logins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new feature\nsupplements Windows and macOS MFA support, making ADSelfService Plus the\nindustry\u2019s first on-premises solution to provide endpoint MFA for all three\nmajor operating systems so that IT admins can improve user account security and\nkeep sophisticated cyberthreats at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the State\nof Linux report, 90% of the public cloud runs on Linux. With stolen\ncredentials ranking among the top data breach vectors, it’s high time that\nevery organisation works on its strategy in securing access to endpoints\nrunning on Linux. After all, one set of credentials is all a hacker needs to get into an organisation’s\nnetwork and cause havoc. When MFA is implemented organisation-wide, the traditional\nusername and password login is supplemented by an additional security measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Linux OS and its\ndistributions don’t provide built-in mechanisms to enforce MFA for GUI\nlogins,” said Parthiban Paramasivam, Director of Product Management,\nADSelfService Plus. “With ADSelfService\nPlus, users will have a seamless login experience irrespective of the platform\nthey use. A Windows user who also has a Linux workstation or a\nmacOS machine will have the same login experience across platforms.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handling cyberattacks with\nADSelfService Plus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With ADSelfService\nPlus Endpoint MFA capability, user authentication goes beyond relying on\ntraditional usernames and passwords and verifies identities through stringent\nauthentication techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more\nauthentication techniques supported by the MFA solution, the more freedom\nadmins have. With this in mind, ADSelfService Plus supports a variety of\nauthentication techniques, including SMS-based one-time passwords (OTPs),\nemail-based OTPs, Google Authenticator, DUO Security and RSA SecurID. With\nADSelfService Plus, organisations can leverage 14 different authentication\ntechniques to secure access to Linux, Windows and macOS clients in AD environments.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With ADSelfService\nPlus Endpoint MFA enabled, users will have to successfully authenticate\nthemselves twice before they’re allowed to access their workstations or\nservers. They are authenticated first through their AD domain credentials and\nnext through one of the supported authentication techniques before they can log\nin to their remote and local Linux, Windows or macOS machine. Admins can\nenforce MFA for specific users with access to business-critical data based on\ntheir domain, OU, or group membership. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
