Many organizations have already invested in leading identity providers (IdPs) like Okta, Azure AD, or Ping Identity. These platforms offer a solid foundation for managing digital identities and access. However, a common misconception persists: that the built-in multi-factor authentication (MFA) options these providers offer—such as SMS codes, email links, or authenticator apps—are enough to keep threats at bay.
Unfortunately, this assumption is increasingly risky. Cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever, and credential-based breaches continue to rise despite widespread MFA adoption. Attackers have learned to bypass basic MFA through phishing, SIM-swapping, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The result? Even organizations with MFA in place remain vulnerable.
Advanced MFA goes beyond the basics. It leverages intelligent, unphishable authentication methods like biometrics and passwordless options to close the gaps left by traditional MFA.
BIO-key PortalGuard is designed to work with your existing identity stack, not against it. Whether you use Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity, or another IdP, PortalGuard lets you add advanced, intelligent MFA without changing your users’ workflows or overhauling your infrastructure.
Modern cyber threats demand more than basic MFA. Security-conscious organizations are adopting advanced MFA as a core pillar of Zero Trust, where every access request is verified, and trust is never assumed.
If you’ve already invested in an identity provider, you’re on the right track. But don’t stop there. Turn good identity management into great authentication. Layer in advanced, unphishable, and adaptive MFA with BIO-key PortalGuard—so you can stay ahead of threats, empower your users, and make security seamless.
