Securing your Office 365

With Celestix MFA for Office 365, users will have the best user experience ever. Picture this. Michele opens her Outlook application or login to office.com via a browser. She types the username and password and she is able to access her emails securely. She does not need to reach for her smartphone to use an authenticator app to generate a dynamic one-time password (OTP) to obtain a PIN. The interaction between user and the system is simple and efficient.

Behavioral Biometrics is a measurable behavior used to recognize or verify the identity of a person. Behavioral Biometrics becomes a very powerful weapon in the fight against computer intrusions. Any unauthorized user that previously could access a computer with confidential information, either by hacking the password, logging in with stolen credentials or accessing a logged-on computer, can now be stopped and the intrusion is prevented while it is happening.

Now, this Behavioral Biometrics is part of the authentication for Office 365.
