Overview

Organizations look to reduce the number of authentication silos across their infrastructure because as the number of them increase, so does administration overhead. These silos also introduce policy incongruencies, a source of vulnerabilities.

OpenText™ Advanced Authentication (NetIQ) is a standards-based authentication framework that’s easy to configure and maintain and protects your entire organization. Modernize to passwordless or multifactor authentication through a centralized solution, eliminating siloes while driving greater security and manageability.
