EKO-Raszyn Has Secured VPN Access Using Rublon MFA
The EKO-Raszyn Municipal Public Utility Company, responsible for water delivery and wastewater collection in the Raszyn municipality, has deployed the Rublon MFA platform to protect its IT infrastructure, which supports critical municipal services. The new multi-factor authentication (MFA) layer minimizes the risk of account takeover and unauthorized access, while maintaining ease of use and simplicity of security management.
“For a municipal utility, strengthening cybersecurity must go hand in hand with maintaining daily operations. The deployment at EKO-Raszyn shows that both goals can be achieved: Rublon MFA was implemented in one day, securing VPN access without disrupting the company’s operations. A clear admin console and flexible security policies made it easy to tailor protection to the organization’s needs, while employees gained a convenient and secure way to log in.”

Description:
A municipal company responsible for the collective water supply and sewage disposal in the Raszyn municipality, ensuring the continuity and safety of municipal services to residents.
The Challenge
VPN Security
The company wanted to ensure that only authorized employees could access the corporate network. With the increasing number of Account Takeover (ATO) attacks, an additional layer of security was needed to lower the risk of an incident with minimal effort.
Convenience for Users and Administrators
EKO-Raszyn was seeking a solution that could be deployed immediately to protect its infrastructure with multi-factor authentication without disrupting daily operations. The solution had to be easy to use for administrators and provide a user-friendly login process for employees.
Increasing Security Requirements for Critical Infrastructure
As a water and sewerage company, EKO-Raszyn is subject to the guidelines of the NIS2 Directive. The escalation of cyberattacks on water companies and the announcement of the government’s “Cyber Secure Water Supply” program have underscored the need to implement MFA as a fundamental pillar of critical infrastructure protection.
The Solution
EKO-Raszyn deployed the Rublon MFA platform.
EKO-Raszyn chose Rublon MFA because the solution met all the criteria: easy integration, fast configuration, and support for an enterprise-grade VPN.
Integration With VPN
Rublon MFA has been integrated with the company’s enterprise-class VPN, allowing for an extra authentication step for users. When logging in to the VPN, the employee is asked to confirm their identity with an additional authentication factor other than a password. This can be, for example, the Mobile Push method available in the Rublon Authenticator app installed on a smartphone. Rublon MFA’s authentication methods are fast and convenient, while providing a high level of security. Rublon MFA offers additional protection against unauthorized access without slowing down the user’s work.
Simple Administration, Minimal Maintenance
The entire system is managed from the browser-based Rublon Admin Console, which significantly reduces the administrative overhead. Thanks to automatic user enrollment in the platform and synchronization with user directories, administrators do not need to add user accounts manually, and configuration of MFA settings for groups and applications takes just a few minutes.
Meeting Security Standards
The implementation of MFA has enabled the company to implement its strategy for enhancing the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure, in line with industry best practices for the water and wastewater sector. In addition, the implementation of Rublon MFA allowed the company to achieve compliance with the requirements of Article 8 of Poland’s KSC Act for the use of strong, multi-factor authentication mechanisms.
Rublon: How would you rate the deployment (time, complexity)?
Eko-Raszyn: It was trivial and problem-free. Deployed in one day.
The Benefits of Implementing Rublon MFA
| No delays | Rublon MFA’s authentication does not delay employee logins, allowing the company to run smoothly even during peak hours. |
| Protecting access to the corporate network | MFA enforced on every VPN connection makes it much more difficult for attackers to gain access to the enterprise network. |
| Positive user experience | Employees are happy with Rublon MFA; they can approve logins with a single tap on the mobile app, which provides quick and convenient access to systems, eliminating the need for complicated authentication procedures. |
| Readiness for future scalability | The high scalability of Rublon MFA makes it possible to deploy multi-factor authentication across other applications and services and seamlessly add more users and groups as needed. |
The Outcome
EKO-Raszyn decided to implement MFA for VPN connections to enhance security and ensure the continuity of municipal services. Rublon MFA proved to be a solution that combines effective protection with a convenient login experience for users. The project was completed after one day, with no disruption to the company’s operations. Employees reported no problems with the MFA platform and are satisfied with the solution.
