Why use inWebo MFA for Windows Logon?

The workstation is one of the most sensitive items in terms of security of IT Systems. It gives direct access to all locally stored and unprotected cloud assets. It can also be an enrolled device that grants access to protected data and services, in combination with a PIN code. That is why the process to log into the workstation - Windows Logon - raises high security concerns.



Insecure passwords

Even strong passwords are weak and certainly not up to the task of protecting your most precious assets



Vulnerable shared workstations

A multi-user workstation is easily accessible to everyone and therefore requires a high level of security



Unsecured remote access

The lack of remote access security is an easy way for hackers to take control of the system and access data in a completely transparent way

Why should you encrypt your Workstation local storage even with MFA?

Picture Windows Logon as the front door to your data. Protecting this front entrance with a MFA solution is crucial, but it will not prevent malicious people from getting through the window. That's why inWebo recommends to encrypt all data stored locally as an extra security.

Can I remove the need for Windows password by adding MFA?

Your Windows password is the first step in this double authentication (MFA) and is therefore crucial to ensure the security of your account, regardless of the PC you are logging into or the applications, settings and services you are using while logged in.
