Plurilock said as part of its summer 2022 release, the company’s zero-trust identity solution DEFEND has added support for Amazon WorkSpaces, providing continuous identity confirmation for WorkSpaces virtual sessions.
The new DEFEND functionality provides continuous identity assurance through behavioral biometrics, terminating the virtual session whenever the individual using the session is not recognized as the authorized user.
“With an increase in remote and hybrid work, organizations are turning to virtual environments to achieve cost savings, to secure BYOD endpoints, and to comply with government and industry regulations. These solutions come with risks of their own, including risks related to credential compromise and unauthorized access,” it added.
New and enhanced features
Plurilock said the Summer ’22 product release focuses on support for virtual environments, enhanced frictionless identity confirmation, training, and workflows, and on providing features and enhancements to increase usability and productivity. It is available to existing customers as part of Plurilock’s early access program prior to the general release.
The new features and enhancements include:
- New DEFEND Decision API: Enables administrators to use DEFEND as a point-in-time authentication tool through an API endpoint that provides a simple confirmation or rejection for authentication workflows using DEFEND continuous authentication data. By leveraging DEFEND’s cutting-edge zero trust identity technology, organizations can use this endpoint to craft authentication workflows that confirm user identity biometrically, as work happens, without pausing for usernames, passwords, or physical scans.
- Enhanced Group Management: Enables system administrators to streamline group configuration and management through policy export, import, and cloning operations to reduce the number of clicks required for common group administration tasks.
- Enhanced Log View Research: A new dual-state authentication log view and powerful CSV export tool, enabling administrators to pause the real-time authentication log display for research and to download detailed, real-time log data in CSV format for ad-hoc import into a variety of other tools.
To brief the cybersecurity community about the release, Plurilock’s director of channel sales, Paul Baker, and vice president of product, Dr. Aron Hsiao will host an overview and live demo event on July 21, 2022, from 2-3pm ET.
Plurilock provides identity-centric cybersecurity for today's workforce. The Plurilock family of companies enables organizations to operate safely and securely while reducing cybersecurity friction.
