Stop unauthorized activity at the logon

The Financial Services sector needs to protect data and resources from unauthorized access, intentional or otherwise. Logon security with UserLock is a simple and effective means of stopping the threat. Prevent the use of compromised accounts, block careless login behavior, and end malicious actions from both external attacks and the insider threat.

Two-Factor Authentication

2FA

Add an additional security step to verify the identity of your users and secure access to your network. With UserLock you can enable two-factor authentication easily on Windows logon, RDP, VPN, IIS, and SaaS connections.

Single Sign-On

Sign-On

Give users secure and frictionless access to Microsoft 365 and other cloud applications with SAML federated authentication for Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Identities. Organizations can retain AD as the authoritative identity provider, while extending it to work securely with the cloud.

Automated Access Controls

Automated

Customized policy-based restrictions help verify all users’ claimed identity. Define who can logon, how (e.g. RDP, local, Wi-Fi, VPN), from where, which machine/device, how often (number of concurrent sessions) and when.

Real Time Insight, Alerts & Response

Real Time

Administrators can track and remotely interact with any session, to lock the console, log off the user or even block them from further logons. Alerts can notify IT and users themselves, of inappropriate logon activity and failed attempts.

Centralized Reporting

Centralized

Accurate information for forensics and regulatory compliance. Detailed auditing on who was connected, from which systems, at what time and for how long.

Protect critical financial data and information
assets from external attacks and the insider threat

Stop Credential-Based Attacks

Genuine but compromised employee logins are now rendered useless to malicious insiders or would-be external attackers.

Prevent Careless Login Behavior

Password sharing, shared workstations left unlocked or logging into multiple computers simultaneously is now eradicated.

Mitigate the Risk of Malicious Activity

Access to any data/resource is now always identifiable and attributed to one individual user. This accountability discourages an insider from acting maliciously and makes all users more careful with their actions.

How financial services benefit from deploying UserLock

Deploy swiftly and scale effortlessly

Working alongside Active Directory, UserLock integrates seamlessly with the logon process. Controls can be applied at AD group levels for general protection of large user bases and augmented with individual user rules.

Controlled access -
based on the need to know

Enforce customized access policies to best meet an organization’s own needs. Restricting network access on a job-role basis helps ensure employees can only access information they need to do their job.

« The control over a users’ ability to log on is granular but the best feature for me is that it is non-invasive – no schema extensions information left behind to worry about. »

« Tied to Active Directory, UserLock controls effectively,
who can logon where and when and the number
of logins that can be restricted. »

« The most important capability is the ability to prevent concurrent logins and credential sharing between the users. Administrators can also instantly react to session activity, a huge value to the day-to-day operation. »

« With 60,000 users conducting financial transactions on a regular basis, we needed to eliminate risks and possible fraud resulting from improper user access. UserLock does that and much more. »

« Following an audit from the Central Bank of Kuwait,
