Securing Application Access with Visual-Guard: A Global Approach

In today’s IT security environment, where threats are constantly evolving, it is imperative to adopt a robust and flexible authentication strategy. Visual-Guard is positioned as a forward-looking security solution, offering a global approach to authentication that encompasses both traditional methods and multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions. This page presents an overview of our global vision of authentication, paving the way for a more in-depth exploration of our authentication and MFA solutions.

Authentication with Visual-Guard

Visual-Guard offers a complete authentication platform, designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of applications, whether web-based, desktop or mobile. Our aim is to provide uncompromising security while maintaining a seamless user experience. Key features include :

• Standard and Advanced Authentication: Supports a wide range of authentication methods, from basic username and password authentication to more sophisticated methods such as Windows authentication and database authentication.
• Easy integration: Designed for easy integration with various tools and platforms, making it easy to set up secure authentication without disrupting application development.
• Centralized User Management: Enables centralized administration and management of authentication policies and access rights across the VGRepository.

Supported authentication methods

Visual-Guard enables flexible, secure management of user identities through a variety of authentication methods. Whether you’re developing a web, desktop or mobile application, Visual-Guard integrates seamlessly to deliver a secure and transparent user experience.

• Visual-Guard authentication: Uses credentials such as username and password.
• Windows authentication: Allows users to authenticate via their Windows credentials, integrating authentication within the Microsoft ecosystem.
• Database authentication: Authenticates users by verifying credentials stored in a database.
• External authentication: Integrates third-party identity providers such as OAuth, OpenID Connect, etc.

Benefits of Visual-Guard Authentication

• Enhanced security: Protect your applications by ensuring that only authenticated users have access to sensitive resources.
• Flexibility: Offers a variety of authentication methods to meet the specific needs of each application.
• Easy integration: couples easily with a wide range of technologies and application platforms.
• Centralized management: Enables centralized management of users and authentication policies through the VGRepository.

Authentication Flow

The authentication flow involves verifying a user’s identity to grant access to a system. It typically includes the user initiating login, entering credentials, the system validating those credentials, and potentially completing additional security steps like multi-factor authentication (MFA). Upon successful verification, the system grants access to the user.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with Visual-Guard

Recognizing the crucial importance of MFA in strengthening security, Visual-Guard extends its authentication capabilities to include robust multi-factor authentication. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors before accessing an application, significantly reducing the risk of account compromise.

Why choose Visual-Guard for your authentication?
