How does Saviynt ensure secure authentication?

Saviynt ensures secure authentication primarily through the support of multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms. MFA enhances security by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to resources. This could include something the user knows (like a password), something the user has (like a smartphone or hardware token), or something the user is (like a fingerprint or facial recognition). By implementing MFA, Saviynt mitigates the risks associated with compromised passwords and ensures that even if one factor is breached, unauthorized access can still be prevented.

While single sign-on (SSO) solutions can streamline the authentication process and improve user convenience, they do not inherently provide the additional layer of security that MFA offers. Similarly, strong password policies are essential, but they focus mainly on the strength of passwords rather than the multi-faceted approach that MFA takes. Biometric identification can be a part of an MFA strategy, but on its own, it does not encompass the broader spectrum of authentication methods that MFA supports. Thus, the ability to integrate various authentication factors within MFA makes it a robust choice for securing user identity in Saviynt.
