MobilityShield Introduces New Account Lockout Protection Solution for Lync Edge Server
| PR Newswire Association LLC |
MobilityShield, an innovative solution that guarantees secure mobile authentication, has launched Lync Edge Access Control, which enables the safe connection of computers from outside the corporate network to the organization's Lync server and prevents account lockout.
Allowing external computers and mobile devices to connect to Lync servers exposes the network to serious risk. While the main threat is to mobile devices, connecting desktops, and especially laptops, to Lync services is also risky because this requires access to the Active Directory and exposes the organization to account lockout issues.
"Lync Edge Access Control was developed at the request of MobilityShield clients who were looking for a solution that will complement the company's innovative LyncShield solution to protect connections required for laptops or external desktops to Lync," said
Account lockout can be the result of network password policy or of someone knowing your account and failing to authenticate, or in the worst case scenario, of DDoS attack.
Lync Edge Access Control eliminates these threats by blocking failed attempts at the Edge server side before they reach the Active Directory. This is done by configuring a block-failed login policy that blocks attack attempts from reaching the Active Directory. The policy includes a limited number of allowed failed attempts within a defined period.
Lync Edge Access control can also secure the authentication. By using Lync Edge Access Control, the authentication can be configured to block NTLM and force certificate authentication, thus achieving a Two-Factor Authentication process for desktops and laptops outside the corporate network.
