About Enterprise Authentication
Today, using static passwords to access protected data has become insufficient. Enterprise
Authentication combines several authentication methods that allow only authorized individuals to
securely access protected data.
Adding Enterprise Authentication helps you to avoid these potential high-risk issues:
• Maintaining lists of long and complex passwords
• Online identity theft
• Security attacks
• Uncontrolled access to sensitive data
How Enterprise Authentication works
The authentication process occurs each time you request access to protected resources, such as
networks, applications, or services.
Figure 1-1 Authentication process
Enterprise Authentication determines your identity using one or more authentication methods.
When Enterprise Authentication verifies that your identity is valid, authentication is successful, and
your request is granted.
