IAM solution is enhanced by the broader Entrust portfolio, including certificate-based solutions"

“What makes Entrust unique is that our phishing-resistant IAM solution is enhanced by the broader Entrust portfolio, including certificate-based solutions for machine identity, data security, and software supply chain management as well as cloud security posture management (CSPM), digital signing, and identity verification. These capabilities let customers turn to Entrust to advance their Zero Trust maturity journey and enhance their security posture,” Swaroop said.

IAM solution

Entrust Identity allows organisations to quickly deploy an IAM solution for employees, customers, or end-users.

To maintain a strong security posture with a simple user experience, the solution helps organisations meet several critical needs, including:

• Preventing account takeover attacks such as phishing and multi-factor authentication (MFA) bypass, using certificate-based authentication for users and devices.
• A wide range of high-assurance authenticators, including FIDO2, passkeys, and certificate-based authentication.
• Mitigating fraud and account compromise with risk-based adaptive step-up authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) to evaluate access requests based on multiple risk factors, ensuring additional friction when it's needed.
• Simple, secure end-to-end digital onboarding solutions integrated with Entrust identity verification and digital signing.
• Fast time to value with pre-set integrations and open developer tools, including mobile SDKs and REST APIs.

The Entrust Identity roadmap will enhance phishing resistance and fraud mitigation capabilities with an AI/ML-driven risk engine and enhanced reporting features.
