Modern Multi-Factor Authentication for Microsoft Office 365
RSA SecurID Access, a Microsoft conditional access partner, secures Office 365 resources with modern mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA). Go beyond username and password authentication with RSA.
RSA SecurID Access is embedded into Office 365 browser-based authentication flows to provide simple MFA from anywhere and on any device. With RSA SecurID Access you’ll get:
- Secure and convenient access to Office 365 resources
- Authenticator options to fit your user and policy needs
- Risk and behavioral analytics to gain identity assurance
RSA SecurID Access, the most widely used authentication solution, protects Azure and Microsoft applications as well as all other cloud and on-premises applications in one solution. There’s no need to implement point authentication solutions per application or platform when RSA can secure it all.
- Extend existing RSA SecurID Access on-premises implementation to the cloud
- Easily add mobile authenticators (e.g., push to approve, device biometrics, etc.)
- Single sign-on included
Make access decisions smarter. RSA provides identity assurance: It confirms users are who they say they are by considering the sensitivity of the applications they’re trying to access and the level of risk associated with their access attempts based on analyzing business and behavioral context. This means users seamlessly access applications and are challenged, only as required, based on the risk level of the attempt.
RSA SecurID Access provides several options for implementing MFA for Office 365.
