Today, most cyber insurance policies require MFA. In addition, meeting regulatory compliance (PCI-DSS, GDPR, PIPEDA, and so on) is often dependent in part upon MFA.<\/p>\n<h4 data-w-id=\"6c6a4681-6f7b-cf7c-2405-29bcba5f9992\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;6c6a4681-6f7b-cf7c-2405-29bcba5f9992&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"9f7fe35e-4de7-11d6-7070-1268711f5407\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;9f7fe35e-4de7-11d6-7070-1268711f5407&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">Is Network Login MFA Sufficient?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-w-id=\"a852659b-297c-637c-dd44-b95e449fd103\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;a852659b-297c-637c-dd44-b95e449fd103&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">Many companies only implement MFA at the initial network login. This approach simplifies implementation and reduces user impact. Following this approach assumes that once a user is authenticated, they should be fine for all network access levels if they stay connected. However, this approach ignores the value of using MFA to further secure your most critical assets and processes, a fundamental factor in cyber-insurance approval, premium cost, and compliance audits.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"5b641145-aac0-6199-37b1-ea90dbba2337\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;5b641145-aac0-6199-37b1-ea90dbba2337&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">For example, if you have a critical application that only certain users should be able to access, then adding an MFA layer when users log into that application will help prevent someone who can bypass the network login MFA (or compromise the identity post login) to have to go through yet another layer of authentication before accessing this most critical resource.<\/p>\n<h4 data-w-id=\"e24a435c-18d6-7c35-201d-c8d8a13fef50\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;e24a435c-18d6-7c35-201d-c8d8a13fef50&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"7ece0737-4902-1b3e-dced-d18f6ce8e63f\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;7ece0737-4902-1b3e-dced-d18f6ce8e63f&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">MFA for IBM i <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-w-id=\"e96e482a-f653-d02d-9211-9f0f6cff5727\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;e96e482a-f653-d02d-9211-9f0f6cff5727&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">MFA for IBM I, a third-party solution, is available from multiple vendors. It allows you to implement MFA specifically for IBM i login and target specific applications or processes running on the IBM i platform. It typically integrates with IBM exit point security as well as access control and elevated authority solutions. Most solutions utilize industry-standard authenticators such as Radius or RSA SecurID, although they also come with their own authenticators, if preferred.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"9acbc4d6-5bbc-c734-08b4-74d64ff383da\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;9acbc4d6-5bbc-c734-08b4-74d64ff383da&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">As the IBM i platform typically runs your company\u2019s mission-critical applications and houses highly sensitive data, it certainly deserves the extra layer of security that MFA can provide.<\/p>\n<h2 data-w-id=\"ac1cf7b2-0ad0-f413-785e-e15c722e6b48\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;ac1cf7b2-0ad0-f413-785e-e15c722e6b48&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"f355fe69-a879-411c-0afd-591bf0ff6ff1\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;f355fe69-a879-411c-0afd-591bf0ff6ff1&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">Common Use Cases and Best Practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-w-id=\"13e4af29-d259-a9bf-c733-19d3799bdd06\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;13e4af29-d259-a9bf-c733-19d3799bdd06&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">The following are two common use cases for IBM i based MFA and their corresponding implementation best practices:<\/p>\n<ol role=\"list\" start=\"1\" data-w-id=\"078c4135-bb3d-2b75-a0c3-6480f2756776\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;078c4135-bb3d-2b75-a0c3-6480f2756776&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">\n<li data-w-id=\"1468054a-82d2-39ce-dfb8-c1b4c58829a9\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;1468054a-82d2-39ce-dfb8-c1b4c58829a9&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"7217dc8a-228c-a751-dc55-01a4967fc561\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;7217dc8a-228c-a751-dc55-01a4967fc561&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">Your IBM i runs your corporate ERP solution.<\/strong> Most users in the company need to access your ERP, and you don\u2019t want to burden them with an extra MFA layer beyond the initial network login. However, some users have enhanced authority that allows them to take certain actions critical to the organization or access information that is not available to most employees. By selectively adding MFA to those privileged users, you can ensure that if their credentials are compromised, their ERP logins are still protected. \u00a0<strong data-w-id=\"e79d7042-b7d9-4abb-00f7-e65e65844341\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;e79d7042-b7d9-4abb-00f7-e65e65844341&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">\u200d<\/strong>\u200d<\/li>\n<li data-w-id=\"dddff167-3af9-6c5f-0f59-d27285b7d1af\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;dddff167-3af9-6c5f-0f59-d27285b7d1af&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"bd1b25d5-c502-83fe-8320-4c7c66f575e7\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;bd1b25d5-c502-83fe-8320-4c7c66f575e7&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-post-body-input\">This file contains critical information and should not be FTP\u2019d by a user who is not the designated user.<\/strong> The company has implemented exit point security to ensure that only authorized user profiles can use FTP, but there is no protection if this authorized profile gets compromised.
