Issuer: Akamai Technology Co., Ltd.

The new product Akamai MFA, Akamai Technology Co., Ltd., which provides FIDO2 multi-factor certification (headquarters: Tokyo Central District, Job Executive President: Yamano Xiu, hereinafter referred to as "Akamai"), announced that it will also begin to provide Akamai MFA in China. Akamai MFA is a powerful multi-factor authentication solution that prevents malicious authentication bypass by implementing FIDO2 standards. Rapid deployment of FIDO2-enabled Multifactor Certification (MFA) for enterprises and organizations without the need to deploy and manage dedicated certification equipment. Through mobile applications, existing smartphones can be used as security keys to provide a smooth user experience. For MFA methods that do not use FIDO2, authentication bypass may occur, which can be easily manipulated or reproduced by attackers using phishing or man-in-the-middle attacks (Man-in-the-Middle). FIDO2 is an industry standard that is widely used and provides secure MFA to protect users from such attacks. Now, in order to ensure this level of security, organizations distribute and manage specialized authentication equipment, but the cost is also increasing, and the complexity is becoming more and more complex. The goal of Akamai MFA is to combat phishing while providing employees with an excellent user experience, using a strong standards-based authentication approach and using general-purpose smartphone applications instead of dedicated authentication devices. The solution leverages FIDO2 to provide end-to-end encryption and protected challenge / response processes, enabling organizations to enhance access control with excellent multifactor authentication at no additional cost. At the same time, smartphone push notification, one-time password, phone voice, text messages and other authentication methods are available to choose from, and a simple authentication upgrade path can be provided according to the changing needs of the organization. President and General Manager Rick McConnell of Akamai Security Technology Group said: "push notifications, which are the second element of standard two-factor certification, are vulnerable to infringement. In order to prevent infringement, we need to deploy and manage physical dedicated authentication equipment, which is also a factor of great complexity for enterprises and organizations. " "Akamai MFA provides all the advantages of the FIDO2 standard. Using smartphone phishing to push back notifications can help organizations migrate to upgraded MFA security without using physical authentication devices, "says IDC Security Products's Program Director Jay Bretzmann." in MFA technology, push notification types are very important. This is the easiest way to protect FIDO2 against fishing, thus ensuring the security of push notifications. " "Akamai understands the need for a smoother authentication approach.
