Preventing Simultaneous Windows Logins

Modern & Secure Authentication: FID02

In an era of increasing cybersecurity threats, organizations are rapidly adopting passwordless authentication with biometric FIDO2 security keys for secure and seamless user verification. While these FIDO2 Keys enhance security, managing their use across multiple systems is crucial to maintaining session integrity.
‍
One major challenge is to prevent simultaneous logins on multiple systems using the same security key. To address this, Ensurity has successfully implemented a 'continuous FIDO2 Key connectivity verification' at an electronic-product manufacturing company, ensuring that the FIDO2 security key remains connected throughout a user’s session. 

To address this challenge at one of an electronic-product manufacturing company, continuous connectivity verification emerges as a key feature, ensuring that a FIDO2 security key remains connected to the system throughout a user’s session.

The Risk of Simultaneous Logins

Simultaneous logins across multiple systems using the same credentials or security key can:

Compromise Security: Unauthorized access becomes possible if a key is shared or misplaced.
Violate Compliance Regulations: Organizations with strict data protection regulations (e.g. DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA) may find it challenging to ensure compliance when multiple sessions are active.
Privilege Escalation: Users may gain unintended administrative access by logging into multiple sessions with different privilege levels.
Cause Operational Conflicts: Data inconsistency and unauthorized actions can disrupt critical systems.

💡The Solution: Continuous Connectivity Verification of FIDO2 Key

To counter these risks, Ensurity has successfully accomplished the continuous FIDO2 connectivity & verification process using the following modules.

XSense Server platform:
- Identity Provider platform manages the Enterprise Users and their Biometric FIDO2 Security Keys.
XSense CPP service for Windows OS:
- Enable Secure Authentication with FIDO2 Security Key to AD joined Windows Workstations Servers, and RDP systems.
- Monitors and verifies the physical connectivity of ThinC-AUTH security keys.
- Securely communicates with XSense Server platform and validates Enterprise Users and their assigned ThicC-AUTH security keys.
ThinC-AUTH biometric FIDO2 security key:
- FIDO2-certified biometric security keys ensuring passwordless authentication.

💡The Solution: Continuous Connectivity Verification of FIDO2 Key

The XSense CPP Engine's continuous connectivity verification process ensures that the FIDO2 security key remains physically connected to the Windows PC during the entire user session. This mechanism actively checks for the presence of the key and automatically locks the Windows Login session.

Preventing Simultaneous Logins: A Game Changer

By implementing continuous connectivity verification, organizations can:

Prevent Credential Sharing: Ensures that FIDO2 keys are used only by authorized users and only on a single Windows system.
Strengthen Authentication Security: Ties logins to the physical presence of the security key.
Privilege Escalation: Users may gain unintended administrative access by logging into multiple sessions with different privilege levels.
Reduce Insider Threats: Ensures accountability and traceability of user sessions.

Use Cases for Continuous Connectivity Verification

Enterprise Workstations:
Employees working in sensitive environments, such as finance or healthcare, can benefit from continuous connectivity to ensure secure and exclusive access to workstations.

Shared Systems:
In shared environments like Manufacturing units, Contact Centers, and Retail, continuous verification ensures that only authorized personnel can access a terminal during their shift.

Remote Work Scenarios:
For remote workforce, continuous connectivity process prevents unauthorized RDP logins on multiple enterprise systems using the same FIDO2 security key.

The Future of Passwordless Authentication

As organizations move towards passwordless authentication, features like continuous connectivity verification will be essential for securing user access, maintaining compliance, and preventing security breaches.

With Ensurity’s XSense Server and biometric FIDO2 security keys, organizations can fortify their authentication systems while ensuring seamless and secure user experiences.
