Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Financial Services

Multi-Factor Authentication

Rublon’s multi-factor authentication enables users to verify logins by tapping Approve or Deny on push notifications sent to their mobile devices via Rublon Authenticator. Gartner recommends this authentication method for MFA. Rublon also supports authentication methods that work offline, without mobile devices, and with FIDO2 security keys. These features are particularly useful in high-risk environments where phishing or keylogging attacks are common. By supporting FIDO2 keys, Rublon ensures that your organization is prepared for the future of digital security.

PCI DSS Compliance

Financial organizations that handle cardholder data must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard is designed to ensure the secure handling of cardholder information at every step.

Rublon’s multi-factor authentication can help your organization meet the PCI DSS requirements for strong access control measures. By implementing MFA, you can add an additional layer of security that helps protect cardholder data.

NYDFS Compliance

Financial organizations that operate or conduct transactions in the state of New York must require multi-factor authentication (MFA) to securely connect users to internal networks, as mandated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies.

Rublon can protect against unauthorized access to nonpublic information and information systems using multi-factor authentication as an effective control, as defined by section 500.12 of the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Compliance

Financial institutions operating in the U.S. are obligated by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) to secure and maintain the confidentiality of their customer records. Rublon’s multi-factor authentication solution can assist your organization in fulfilling the GLBA’s security requirements by adding an extra layer of protection to safeguard customer data.

Adherence to the FTC Safeguards Rule

The FTC Safeguards Rule, which is closely associated with the GLBA, mandates financial institutions to implement security measures to protect customer information. By deploying Rublon’s multi-factor authentication, your organization can establish an effective control mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to customer data.

Meeting the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act Requirements

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act imposes several mandates on businesses, including the safeguarding of electronic records. Rublon’s multi-factor authentication can support your organization in complying with the SOX Act by ensuring secure access to electronic records.

NAIC Compliance

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Insurance Data Security Model Law suggests the use of multi-factor authentication for any individual accessing nonpublic information.

Rublon can help insurance companies to comply with this regulation by enabling multi-factor authentication on all applications that process nonpublic information.

Protect Every Technology

To fulfill compliance requirements and pass audits, your organization must protect every technology that you use. Rublon’s integration possibilities make it easy to enable MFA for remote access via VPN, logins to cloud and on-premise applications, custom software, Linux servers, and applications using directory services (e.g. Active Directory, OpenLDAP).
