Learn how Rublon MFA can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for supplier logins, reducing unauthorized access risks and meeting NIS2 supply chain security standards as per Article 21(d) of the NIS2 Directive, which requires:
“supply chain security, including security-related aspects concerning the relationships between each entity and its direct suppliers or service providers;”
Scenario
A food manufacturing company uses an online inventory management system. The company works with multiple suppliers of raw materials. Each supplier has access to the inventory management system to monitor inventory levels and plan deliveries.
Challenge
The company wants to limit supplier access to the inventory management system in specific ways, while also monitoring supplier logins and detecting unauthorized access that could pose a threat to the supply chain.
Solution
To gain access to the system, suppliers must complete Rublon’s multi-factor authentication (MFA). In addition to the standard username and password, each supplier login attempt must go through an additional, simple verification process. Suppliers have limited access, determined by Rublon Access Policies.
Benefits
Even if a supplier’s password is compromised, MFA deters the potential attacker. Multi-factor authentication significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches, while helping to increase supply chain security.
