You can’t execute a Zero Trust model without first trusting user identities, and that means authenticating them continuously–from the time they try to login to the moment they log out.
Combining continuous identity authentication with risk assessment at the endpoint allows for intelligent real-time threat response and strikes the perfect balance between a robust security posture and a seamless user experience.
Too often, security controls are too stringent, which results in loss of productivity, or too permissive, which increases enterprise risk. Now, TruU and CrowdStrike have teamed up to add Zero Trust assessment (ZTA) scores to the TruIdentity Cloud authentication risk engine, providing the most comprehensive and efficacious Zero Trust solution with continuous identity at its core:
Simultaneous device risk data and identity authentication allow customers to implement policies that respond to potential threats as they happen by stepping up identity verification on compromised endpoints and limiting access to high-value assets associated with those endpoints.
Use Case #1: Stepping up identity authentication on potentially compromised devices
Use Case #2: Stopping authentication into high-value assets from compromised devices
Use Case #3: Rewarding users with better experiences while keeping endpoints secure
Importantly, the partnership is quickly gaining traction with current TruU customers. Krishnan Chellakarai, CISO of Gilead Sciences, notes, “We have started a journey to establish a Zero Trust enterprise at Gilead, and we see significant synergies between TruU’s continuous identity authentication and CrowdStrike’s Falcon ZTA that can help us in that endeavor.“
TruU combines strong identity proofing, presence, biometrics, and behavioral markers in the TruIdentity Cloud to deliver the most comprehensive passwordless solution for all physical and digital workflows. Its TruPresence capability is a groundbreaking innovation that allows individuals to authenticate into workstations, physical doors, and other sensing assets simply by being close to them and removes the zero-sum trade-off between better security and a better user experience.
TruIdentity Cloud comes with pre-built, standards-based integrations across the entire identity stack to support full-spectrum authentication. Remote onboarding and identity proofing, workstations, apps, servers, VPNs, Windows, Mac, and privileged access are all supported, as is physical access via badge readers.
