Security Is Our Top Priority
Multi Factor Authentication Options
At Aditum, we understand that security is a top priority for business, especially when it comes to accessing sensitive data through the BuildingISP IMS Portal. To ensure the utmost protection for your accounts, we offer two robust options for multi-factor authentication (MFA). Below we’ll delve into the details of each option, highlighting their benefits and features to help you make an informed decision about which one suits your organization’s needs best.
Option 1: Email Verification – Simple and Reliable
By default, all accounts on our BuildingISP portal are protected with a straightforward yet effective MFA method – email verification. Here’s how it works: when you attempt to sign in, a unique code will be sent to your registered email address. This code is required to be entered before completing the sign-in process. This method is simple and cost-effective, making it an excellent choice for organizations that want to enhance their security without additional setup or costs.
Key Benefits:
- Ease of Use: Email verification is user-friendly and familiar to most users. It requires minimal user interaction, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals.
- No Additional Costs: This method doesn’t incur any extra charges, making it an ideal choice for businesses with budget constraints.
- Enhanced Security: While it may not be as advanced as some other methods, email verification still adds an extra layer of security, deterring unauthorized access.
Remembered Device Feature: For added convenience, the email verification method remembers validated devices for 30 days. After successful authentication, the device is validated and won’t require re-authentication with the emailed code for the next 30 days. This feature strikes a balance between security and user experience, ensuring frequent logins are hassle-free while maintaining a reasonable level of protection.
Option 2: Duo Enterprise MFA – Uncompromising Security with Ease
For those seeking an even higher level of security and control, we offer integration with Duo’s Enterprise MFA solution. This method leverages Duo’s mobile app and push notification system, delivering a seamless and powerful authentication experience.
Key Benefits:
- Advanced Security: Duo’s method provides a higher level of security by leveraging the Duo mobile app. Push notifications and mobile-based authentication significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
- Real-time Notifications: The Duo app sends push notifications to the user’s mobile device, ensuring real-time alerts for any sign-in attempts. This allows for immediate action if any suspicious activity is detected.
- Controlled Access: With Duo, you gain granular control over user access. We enforce re-authentication through Duo if more than 6 hours have elapsed since the last authorization. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining security during prolonged periods of inactivity.
Simplicity and Efficiency: One of the standout features of Duo’s method is its simplicity. Users only need to have the Duo app installed on their mobile phones. Push notifications eliminate the need to enter codes manually, and do not require access to their email during sign in, streamlining the authentication process.
