We had a client needing strong security measures for their VPN users. They already used WatchGuard VPN, so to add extra security, we recommended upgrading their basic subscription to include multi-factor authentication (MFA) with AuthPoint. It was seamless, applying the license, adding users, syncing with the local gateway, then Active Directory, and the user groups. And it was as easy as that. I primarily use AuthPoint for the authentication feature, and it can also do mobile device authentication and more.
We mainly use this solution to provide security for the devices on our clients network in the banking sector; to stop credential theft, or virus transfer from staff working remotely.

WatchGuard AuthPoint is the multifactor authentication solution for our VPN. It gets used on a regular basis. It is our multifactor authentication piece to connect to our VPN back into our network. We are using its latest version. It is a cloud solution, and it is probably on WatchGuard's cloud. We don't control it.
We use the product for multi-factor authentication in-house. We also expect our suppliers to implement the solution because we're dealing with sensitive data, personal data, and need to use two-factor authentication. So it can be integrated with remote support. We use well-prepared templates to integrate the AWS, Office 365, and so it's very, very easy to implement for our needs. I'm the General Manager of our company and we partner with WatchGuard.
WatchGuard's multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution not only helps to reduce the likelihood of network disruptions and data breaches arising from lost or stolen credentials, but we deliver this important capability entirely from the Cloud for easy set-up and management. AuthPoint goes beyond traditional 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) by considering innovative ways to positively identify users, and our large ecosystem of 3rd party integrations means that you can use MFA to protect...
