1. Preventing Denial of Service ADFS
For organizations that may require 2-factor ADFS
authentication in order for them to integrate easily and
quickly, the Virtual Identity Server (VIS) is essential. It is
capable of extending authentication options of your
ADFS, meaning you never have to settle for a single
method on authenticating ADFS. By using the VIS, you
can choose from the basic ones such as the traditional
username and password to the more advanced methods
like CAC authentication. Another reason why it becomes
essential for most organizations today to use the VIS is
practically because they want to take advantage of its
security features.
As cloud firewall, the VIS can help in preventing attacks like denial of service ADFS from taking
place. This is an attack many companies dread, especially when they implement their federation
services because it can make user accounts within your AD locked out or totally unavailable for
use. Therefore data contained in your AD and other directories will not be available to the
searching user as well. This can cause some disruptions to the daily operations of your
business and this is something you never want to happen.
You can prevent this from taking place simply by using the VIS that prevents denial of service
DoS. It not only provides you with multiple methods to authenticate ADFS, it can also provide
the kind and level of security you need for your Active Directory. With the VIS, you never have
to use separate programs just to acquire protection or to have something that will support 2-
factor authentication. This will then save your organization with a lot of money and resources.
