MFA for Zabbix is an extra layer of security to ensure only the intended users can gain access. Zabbix MFA requires the user to go through both primary (login/password) and secondary (e.g., Mobile Push) authentication. This means that even if a cybercriminal knows a user’s password, they will not be able to gain access without completing the second step of authentication.
Overview of MFA for Zabbix
Rublon Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Zabbix allows you to add an extra layer of security to your Zabbix logins.
Rublon MFA for Zabbix enables Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) / Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) during logins to the service. If a user enters the correct username and password, they proceed to the secondary authentication method. If the user is unable to complete the extra method, Rublon will deny their access, stopping any potential intruder from gaining access.
