Extend Microsoft Entra MFA to Your Internal Apps in Minutes

Today, the technology landscape is a battleground, and security is the most powerful weapon. With heightened compliance, audit necessities, and the pressing demand for fortified security, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has emerged as a crucial defense. However, traditional legacy authentication schemes lack fluency in modern single sign-on (SSO) protocols such as SAML or OIDC, creating a challenge when integrating Microsoft Entra MFA. The solution lies in the prowess of the Datawiza Access Proxy, capable of swiftly coordinating Microsoft Entra MFA with your internal apps.
