Streamlining endpoint authentication for enhanced security
With an estimated 70% of breaches starting at endpoints, it's high time that admins take action to prevent these intrusions by leveraging multi-factor authentication. Endpoint MFA ensures users prove their identity through additional authentication methods like biometrics during workstation, server, VPN, and OWA logins. Implementing endpoint MFA alongside Active Directory MFA mitigates the risks of exposing sensitive data, even when passwords are compromised due to inadequate password hygiene.
Redefining endpoint security with ManageEngine MFA
ADSelfService Plus, the ManageEngine MFA solution, helps strengthen endpoint authentication to reduce the risk of compromised credentials from end user devices. ADSelfService Plus enables:
- MFA for Windows, macOS, and Linux machines.
- MFA for VPN providers like Fortinet, Cisco AnyConnect, Pulse, and more.
- MFA for endpoints supporting RADIUS authentication such as Citrix Gateway, VMware Horizon, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway (RDP).
- OWA MFA
Moreover, ADSelfService Plus includes offline MFA for Windows machines, ensuring secure machine logins even for remote users working without internet connectivity.
Complete endpoint protection: ADSelfService Plus' Endpoint MFA in action
With ADSelfService Plus, users perform AD MFA by first authenticating with Active Directory (AD) credentials and then with additional authentication techniques such as one-time passwords (OTPs) sent via SMS or email, or Yubico OTP configured in ADSelfService Plus. This dual-layered protection prevents attackers from accessing sensitive systems even if user credentials are compromised.
According to the SANS Software Security Institute, many organizations hesitate to implement MFA due to:
- The misconception that MFA always requires external hardware
- Fears of productivity loss due to complex login workflows
ADSelfService Plus addresses both concerns by providing 20 flexible authentication techniques that are both user-friendly and hardware-optional. From security questions to biometric authentication, Endpoint MFA by ManageEngine empowers organizations to deploy MFA based on user comfort and risk level.
ADSelfService Plus allows admins to utilize different approaches to different sets of users to limit user disruptions. For example, with ADSelfService Plus, admins have the option to enforce OTPs, tokens, or security questions for one set of users (say, users inside the LAN network); and configure more stringent authentication techniques like fingerprint or FaceID authentication for another set of users (say, C-level executives or remote employees).
Supported authentication techniques
- Biometric authentication (fingerprint/facial recognition)
- Duo Security
- Microsoft Authenticator
- Google Authenticator
- YubiKey authentication
- Email verification
- SMS verification

Simplify administration
ADSelfService Plus provides features to help admins:
- Enable MFA based on OUs and groups
Enforce endpoint MFA and use different sets of authentication techniques for different users based on domain, OU, and group memberships.
- Ensure 100 percent enrollment
Automate user enrollment by importing users' domain information through CSV files or force enrollment using login scripts.
- Get detailed reports
Gain comprehensive insights on user activities such as identity verification failures and login attempts, and also find users with weak passwords.
- Simplify authentication
Use authentication techniques like fingerprint authentication, push notification authentication, YubiKey, and QR code-based authentication to help users prove their identity with minimal effort.
Benefits of multi-factor authentication
- Seamless login experience
Ensure a seamless login experience for users irrespective of the platform they use.
- Prevent sophisticated cyberattacks
Get a leg up on the challenges caused by weak user passwords, password reuse, and credential-based attacks.
- Ensure compliance
Meet NIST SP 800-63B, GDPR, and HIPPA compliance mandates.
- Secure remote logon attempts
Secure both local and remote login attempts to Windows, macOS, and Linux machines.
FAQs
Endpoint multi-factor authentication (MFA) secures all user access to an organization's endpoints, such as networks, workstations, virtual machines, and servers, with multiple identity verification factors.
Yes, employing an endpoint MFA solution in your organization is a recommended practice. Organizational endpoints act like doorways which provide access to organizational data at different levels. Traditional methods of authentication, like username and password, cannot protect endpoints on their own because they can easily be compromised. It's essential to add extra layers of security to endpoints so that there are no unauthorized data access or breach incidents.
You can achieve top-notch endpoint security in your organization with endpoint MFA using ADSelfService Plus. With ADSelfService Plus, you can implement MFA for endpoints like:
- Windows, macOS, and Linux machines
- Top VPN providers like Fortinet, Cisco AnyConnect, Pulse, and more
- Outlook on the web or OWA
- Endpoints supporting RADIUS authentication, such as Citrix Gateway, VMWare Horizon, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway (RDP)
To get a better understanding of ADSelfService Plus' endpoint MFA capability, please schedule a personalized web demo with our product experts.
ADSelfService Plus offers 20 different authenticators to secure your endpoints. You can choose from a range of strong yet easy to configure authenticators, like YubiKey, biometrics, smart card, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo Security, RSA SecurID, and custom TOTP, to barricade your endpoints against cyberattacks.
