The Challenge

Organizations today face the challenge of managing secure access for a diverse and distributed workforce. With users, data, and services increasingly located outside the traditional network perimeter, the need for robust identity and access management (IAM) solutions is critical. Employees use a variety of applications, both on-premises and SaaS, which necessitates a layered defense approach. This complexity can lead to higher administrative costs, inconsistent user experiences, and potential security vulnerabilities.

The Solution

Idira Workforce and Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access, together provide a comprehensive solution for secure access. By combining network-level access with identity access controls, organizations can continuously enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), drive network-level policies based on users and groups, and perform directory synchronization. This integration ensures a secure and seamless access experience for all users, whether they are accessing cloud, mobile, SaaS, legacy or native endpoint applications. Palo Alto Networks Cloud Identity Engine provides centralized user identification and authentication across on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid network environments. Idira Identity Security Platform offers beyond foundational access controls such as single sign-on (SSO) and Adaptive MFA to intelligent privilege controls such as an enterprise password manager, a secure browser, and the ability to record and protect web sessions beyond the login, allowing organizations to mandate multiple forms of evidence for application access. This intelligent approach enforces MFA challenges based on contextual information, behavioral signals, levels of access, and risk, providing robust security and enhancing user productivity.

Benefits of the Integration:

• Seamless Access with Adaptive MFA: Effortlessly access all necessary resources, whether they are cloud, mobile, SaaS, or legacy applications, with adaptive multi-factor authentication.
• Secure high-risk access: Get session protection, continuous monitoring, session controls, and authentication all from Idira.
