The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) has implemented Ivanti Secure Access, a robust and comprehensive security solution, to protect its network and resources from unauthorized access. Ivanti Secure Access is a Zero Trust security framework that verifies the identity and integrity of users and devices before granting access to sensitive data and applications.
Overview of Ivanti Secure Access
Ivanti Secure Access is a multi-factor authentication solution that provides an additional layer of security to the traditional username and password combination. It uses a combination of biometric authentication, such as facial recognition or fingerprint scanning, and one-time passwords to verify the identity of users. This ensures that only authorized users with the correct credentials and devices can access JHU’s network and resources.
Key Features of Ivanti Secure Access
Ivanti Secure Access provides several key features that enhance the security of JHU’s network and resources. These include:
- Conditional Access: Ivanti Secure Access allows JHU to set conditional access policies based on user identity, device type, location, and other factors.
- Device Profiling: Ivanti Secure Access creates a profile of each device that attempts to access JHU’s network, including information such as device type, operating system, and software versions.
- Real-time Threat Detection: Ivanti Secure Access provides real-time threat detection and response, allowing JHU to quickly identify and respond to potential security threats.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Multi-Factor Authentication | Requires users to provide multiple forms of verification before accessing JHU's network and resources |
| Biometric Authentication | Uses facial recognition or fingerprint scanning to verify user identity |
| One-Time Passwords | Generates a unique password for each user session |
Benefits of Ivanti Secure Access
The implementation of Ivanti Secure Access provides several benefits to JHU, including:
Improved Security: Ivanti Secure Access provides an additional layer of security to JHU’s network and resources, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.
Enhanced User Experience: Ivanti Secure Access provides a seamless and intuitive user experience, allowing users to quickly and easily access the resources they need.
