Traditional security models are no longer sufficient.
The shift to remote and hybrid work has opened new attack vectors, and a simple password or even Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can be circumvented.
Organisations in the BFSI, Healthcare, Manufacturing, IT/ITeS and other critical sectors are not just looking for products; they're looking for robust, integrated solutions that address their most pressing challenges.
The core challenge is this: How do you secure a distributed workforce when employees can be logging in from anywhere? Credential theft remains a top threat, and even with strong authentication, an attacker logging in from an unexpected geographic location can go undetected. This not only puts sensitive data at risk but also complicates compliance with strict data protection regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and DPDP Act.
The Accops Solution: Geolocation-Based Login Support
This is where the Accops HySecure steps in. We enable geolocation-based login support, which adds a crucial layer of context to your Zero Trust framework. This feature allows administrators to control user access, based on their real-time GPS location.
It’s not just about who is logging in, but where they are logging in from. By defining allowed login zones using latitude and longitude coordinates with a configurable range, you can ensure that users can only access corporate systems from predefined geographic areas. This capability is vital for enforcing secure remote work policies and protecting against unauthorised access from restricted regions.
Core Benefits: Agility, Flexibility, and Uncompromised Security
Our Geolocation-Based Login Support is an example of our commitment to providing agile, flexible, and affordable solutions.
Benefits for IT Administrators:
- Enhanced Security & Compliance: You can prevent unauthorised access from high-risk or restricted geographic regions, significantly bolstering your security posture. This also simplifies compliance by providing a detailed audit trail in activity logs, which is critical for industries like BFSI and Healthcare.
- Granular Control: The feature integrates with Accops Directory allowing for centralised management of location attributes. You can configure multiple allowed locations per user and customise the access area based on your specific security needs.
Benefits for End Users:
- Secure Remote Work: Employees and contractors can work securely from approved locations, whether it's the office, a branch, or a specific client site, without compromising security. The solution provides a seamless user experience across a variety of applications.
How It Works: A Simple, Secure Flow
The process is designed to be seamless for the user while providing airtight security for IT. The HyID mobile client securely captures the device's GPS coordinates and transmits this data to the HySecure server. The server then cross-references this location against the allowed zones stored in the user’s profile.
Access is only granted if the user's location falls within the defined range of a permitted location. The process supports login modes like QR Code-based login and Credentials with Push Notifications as MFA.
Easy Integration and Continuous Innovation
By integrating location-aware security into HySecure, we help you build a more robust, contextual, and intelligent security framework that truly embraces a Zero Trust philosophy. It’s the smart, simple, and secure way to manage a distributed workforce in a complex world.
