Pre-Login Security: How Avatier Protects What Microsoft Cannot

Discover how Avatier enhances pre-login security measures, providing unmatched protection not offered by Microsoft. Learn more.

User Provisioning Challenges and Solutions in Large Organizations

Enterprises need robust measures to protect sensitive data and systems. Enter Avatier, a leader in Identity Management and Access Governance, offering a superior line of defense in pre-login security—a critical domain where Microsoft often falls short.

The Keystones of Pre-Login Security

Pre-login security is your first line of defense against unauthorized access. It’s about ensuring that only legitimate users can access corporate networks, and often revolves around the twin needs for authentication and identity proofing. Avatier’s solutions stand out by adding layers of security that are typically absent in traditional systems used by enterprises based on Microsoft technologies.

Why Microsoft Isn’t Enough

As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid work models, they rely more heavily on digital platforms like Microsoft 365. Microsoft offers some native security features like basic multi-factor authentication (MFA) but falls short in areas demanding more stringent controls. According to a report by Check Point, Microsoft 365 user accounts are a major target, experiencing up to a 1,600 attacks per month.

Avatier’s Edge in Pre-Login Security

With Avatier, your organization goes beyond basic credentials. Our suite of identity management solutions implemented via our Identity Anywhere framework provides customized, comprehensive security protocols that defend against emerging threats.

1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Though Microsoft supports MFA, Avatier amplifies this with an emphasis on biometric methods and contextual adaptations, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access. This ensures that even if a password is compromised, the likelihood of a security breach remains low.

2. AI-Driven Insights

Static risk assessments are insufficient in today’s fast-paced security landscape. Avatier employs AI-driven analytics to detect anomalies in user behavior, providing real-time alerts that preemptively block potential breaches.

3. Automated User Provisioning

User provisioning traditionally is cumbersome and error-prone, especially when handled manually in Microsoft environments. Avatier’s automated workflows ensure only approved users can access sensitive areas, reducing workload and increasing security fidelity.

Filling the Security Gaps Left by Microsoft

While Microsoft provides certain security configurations, enterprises often grapple with issues like delayed login times and insufficient integration with existing identity verification systems. Avatier’s solutions overcome these hurdles by integrating seamlessly across cloud and on-premises environments, a necessity for cohesive security posture.

Zero Trust Architecture

Avatier thrives on a Zero Trust model—an approach centered on never trusting, always verifying, regardless of user inside the network or externally accessing cloud systems. This strategy greatly reduces potential attack vectors and ensures strong compliance with regulatory mandates.

Industry Leaders Trust Avatier

Companies across sectors, from finance to healthcare, recognize Avatier’s leadership in identity security. With a 99% reduction in unauthorized access incidences post-implementation, Avatier has proven invaluable in preemptive threat mitigation.

For illustration, a large financial firm reported streamlining their compliance with industry regulations and increasing their security effectiveness by 35% after switching from a Microsoft-centric identity management system to Avatier’s comprehensive suite, while also enhancing user satisfaction.
