Nevis supports an Identity-First Security approach for trusted digital relationships. MFA can form part of a wider identity strategy that brings together authentication, adaptive access and passwordless authentication.
Authentication can use different types of factors:
Combining factors provides stronger identity assurance than relying on a username and password alone. MFA can help organisations reduce reliance on passwords and apply additional verification where it is appropriate.
Nevis supports public cloud, private cloud and on-premises deployment models, enabling organisations to consider their security, compliance and sovereignty requirements as part of their authentication approach.
MFA requires more than one security and validation process before access is granted. It provides a stronger basis for authentication than password-only access, which can be exposed to attacks against credentials.
Nevis provides MFA and adaptive access capabilities. This supports an approach in which authentication requirements can be aligned with the context and risk of an access request, rather than applying the same challenge to every interaction.
Nevis offers passwordless authentication and supports FIDO and FIDO2 capabilities across its identity portfolio. These standards-based approaches can help reduce dependence on passwords while supporting secure authentication journeys.
Identity orchestration can help coordinate authentication journeys across digital services. This supports a structured way to introduce, manage and evolve MFA alongside other identity controls.
Nevis supports public cloud, private cloud and on-premises deployments. This gives organisations a choice of deployment model when planning MFA as part of their wider identity architecture.
