Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Utilities

Secure Classified Data With MFA for Utilities

Reduce the risk of data breaches and introduce strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) for municipal utilities. Enforce strict access control policies to ensure airtight security for water supply and sewage disposal companies, heating plants, electricity providers, gas distribution networks, waste management services, renewable energy facilities, and public transportation systems.

Secure SCADA Systems

Secure SCADA systems against potential attacks that could threaten your employees and the continuity of critical infrastructure. Utilities using SCADA systems, such as water, energy, gas, heat, public transport, and waste management providers, must add multi-factor authentication to logins to these systems, both locally and remotely.

Rublon MFA can be integrated with almost every web, cloud, and on-premise application, VPN, server, and admin tool. Protect your custom applications using the Rublon AP, and utilize SDKs for popular programming languages.

Organizations operating industrial control systems (ICS), including SCADA environments in critical infrastructure sectors such as water, energy, and transportation, must meet cybersecurity requirements defined in ISA/IEC 62443-3-3. This includes implementing robust user identification and authentication mechanisms across all human-machine interfaces.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a key control that supports compliance with SR 1.1, SR 1.1 RE 2, and SR 1.1. RE 3, which require unique user identification and enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA).

NERC CIP Compliance

The NERC CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) standards are mandatory cybersecurity regulations for electric utilities in the United States and Canada.

The NERC CIP-005 standard requires that all interactive remote access to systems within the Electronic Security Perimeter (ESP) be protected by multi-factor authentication (MFA). Every user session originating from outside the ESP must be authenticated using at least two factors. MFA is a mandatory control under CIP requirement 2.3 for administrative remote access. Implementing MFA ensures regulatory compliance, strengthens access control, and protects critical infrastructure in the energy sector.

NIST Compliance

Organizations operating in the European Union must take a number of actions under the NIS2 Directive. This includes implementing risk management measures such as ensuring supply chain security, securing internal communication systems, and implementing access control and asset management policies. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the best way to implement these risk management measures.

Ensure compliance with NIST SP 800-82 (Guide to Industrial Control Systems Security), which recommends MFA for SCADA systems.

One-Tap Login

The Rublon Authenticator mobile app enables users to authenticate with one tap using Mobile Push or use the Passcode authentication method if their mobile devices are offline. Rublon’s support for FIDO2 security keys like YubiKey lifts security to the highest level and further improves user experience.

Rublon enrolls users automatically during their first login. Users are identified by their username during each consecutive protected login.

Rublon MFA is a cloud-based service that comes with a mobile app. You can get running in minutes without having to buy or install hardware. Integrate your first application using one of our ready-to-go plugins.

After defining your company domain names in the Rublon Admin Console, users will be automatically added to your users list when they access applications using their work email address and they will be able to use Rublon Authenticator to answer Mobile Push login requests and generate a Passcode.

Reduce GDPR Risk

Use Rublon to protect applications that process personal data and reduce your GDPR risk. When a breach occurs, regulators take into account whether two-factor authentication was used to protect the personal data of customers.

Deploying two-factor authentication and documenting that fact sends a strong signal to your customers that you care about the security of their data.

“The deployment process was smooth. Technical support was excellent. Deployment involved configuring connectors and security policies. Now systems are more secure, and logins are faster and more convenient. Rublon runs in the background, requiring no additional hardware. The Rublon MFA solution has become a key element of the IT systems protection strategy, compliant with current security standards.”
