Learn how Rublon MFA can help secure your systems, ensuring compliance with the FTC Safeguards Rule by providing a robust, easy-to-deploy MFA platform that protects critical access points and aligns with the FTC’s guidelines for safeguarding customer information.
Scenario
A financial institution or other organization that handles customer information is required to comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule. This regulation mandates that organizations implement specific safeguards to protect customer data, including the use of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for anyone accessing customer information on their systems.
Challenge
The FTC Safeguards Rule requires organizations to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive security program to protect customer information. A critical component of this program is the implementation of MFA to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive customer data. The challenge for organizations is to deploy an MFA solution that is both compliant with the FTC’s requirements and easy to implement, manage, and use across various platforms and services, including VPNs, cloud applications, and Remote Desktop Services (RDS).
Solution
Implement Rublon MFA to meet the FTC Safeguards Rule’s requirement for securing access to customer information. Rublon MFA provides a robust, easy-to-deploy solution that protects critical access points, such as VPNs, RDS, and cloud applications, ensuring that only authenticated users can access sensitive data. Rublon’s Access Policies allow organizations to tailor security measures to the specific risks identified in their risk assessments, aligning with the FTC’s guidelines for safeguarding customer information.
Benefits
Rublon MFA enables organizations to comply with the FTC Safeguards Rule by providing a strong, multi-factor authentication solution that secures access to systems containing customer information. This compliance is crucial for avoiding regulatory penalties and maintaining customer trust. Rublon’s fast deployment process means that organizations can begin securing their systems within hours or days, rather than the weeks or months that might be required by more complex solutions.
