WatchGuard AuthPoint

Authpoint solved the problem, of being able to secure two-factor authentication without needing to use an internal LDAP servThe prncpal business need was to migrate users from standard authentication based on lognames and passwords stored on the firewall, to one with that offered greater security. By corporate policy, there was no option to delegate authentication to an internal LDAP server or Azure AD services.Authpoint solved the problem, of being able to provide the security of two-factor authentication without necessarily having to use an internal LDAP server or Azure AD.Ease of use and configuration are a plus of the product, minimal learning time for those who must then manage the service.

With the increase in ransomware attacks on US based healthcare facilities, it is becoming harder and harder to protect patient data, and even get insurance without some form of multi-factor authentication protect. We selected Authpoint for our enterprise due to our familiarity with the Watchguard Firebox products, and Authpoint integrated seamlessly.

Multifactor Authentication for remote users

I use WatchGuard AuthPoint as MFA for my VPN, it is more secure than using a simple password. All my colleagues who use VPN, now need to use a authpoint to securely connect to our environment. In the next day we will implement authpoint portal to share resource in a web browser. It is easy to manage and configure, we use it with our domain server and of course with domain users.

We have deployed AuthPoint to protect our business on several vectors. Currently we're using the system to protect laptops and desktops that are deployed in the field, sales locations, work from home, and our offices. The implementation will include protecting logins to our servers, a Remote Desktop Web portal, and Office 365. Having AD in an Azure Hybrid environment does allow us monitor and control logins, but the AuthPoint system allows us to further protect user logins from a compromised password.

The commercial problem that Watchguard Authpoint addresses are diverse, being among them, that it serves as a two-factor authentication token when users manage the passwords of their accounts; as well as it is useful as a security layer, for the VPN connections of the company's collaborators, since it generates a notification after the user establishes a VPN communication, where he must approve or deny said connection, by means of a received reception on his cell phone, in order to guarantee that the user who is in need of communication is the same one who appeared in the notification produced by the token.

We use WatchGuard AuthPoint to gain access to our Network resources remotely. This provides an additional layer of security for our Administrators.

Due to the increase in ransomware attacks, our Administrators can rest easy knowing that the likelihood of false actors gaining access to our resources is slim to none.

Authpoint is easy to set up and configure, very knowledgeable forum to help you set it up. All is managed through the cloud which is ideal for managing multiple companies.
It's a perfect solution for a lot of companies that don't have MFA on their VPNs, which is probably the most critical thing to have it on. Implementing this allows us to make sure our network is more secure from those remote locations.

A reliable and cost efficient 2 factor authentication for our customers. Mainly used for MFA VPN access for authenticated users to work remote. Before using WatchGuard AuthPoint, we did not have a good solution for all our customers in using MFA to connect to a VPN. This was preventing us from allowing VPN access to medical users.

The product is really good and versatile

We have been using WatchGuard Firewall products for many years in our organization. When the Covid-19 pandemic happened, we needed a way to allow employees to work from home and authenticate securely to our company network. We utilized WatchGuard AuthPoint as a way to accomplish this. AuthPoint's ability to integrate with our domain and provide seamless multifactor authentication has been a life saver for our IT staff and employees.

Me and my team use WatchGuard AuthPoint every day and its a vital part of our identity protection and overall cybersecurity system. AuthPoint is very easy to use and we've integrated it with all of our systems - O365, Active Directory, several cloud applications, and all of our remote access applications including our VPN. We've been impressed with the reliability of AuthPoint and we also like how easy it is to use and to teach others to use. In addition to using it internally, we've also deployed AuthPoint for many of our clients and they are very happy with the ease of use, affordability, and reliability. I highly recommend WatchGuard AuthPoint to anyone looking for an identity protection solution, and anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use and affordable MFA solution.

We use it as a means for users to connect to the city network to access files and folders. It's a broad user scope; 75% of users have a form of VPN of some sort.

We use WatchGuard AuthPoint to secure the VPN connection of every user. This is a big help to our company in reducing the risk of hacking our system or network. One of the significant factors that MFA uses us with was to super secure the VPN or cloud services for every WFh user.

In administration of court systems in Ohio, it has become necessary to implement MFA in our environment in order to maintain Cyber insurance.

It allows the flexibility of using either Authenticator Phone Apps or Key Fobs in a Central management location.

WatchGuard AuthPoint is used to provide MFA for our VPNs and those at our clients.

We've implemented AuthPoint for VPN and Office 365 security. It did require a support call to set up (documentation could be improved) but the call was relatively short and we were up and running in less than an hour. The system works very well, and even our most tech inept users were able to follow the simple steps to set up the app on their phones. We know it's working well because we've had several users report AuthPoint prompts when they're not attempting to connect - meaning a bad actor is trying but they're being stopped. It's a great solution, very happy with our choice.

We use WatchGuard AuthPoint to provide 2 factor authentication for our VPN users. We currently use IKEv2 VPN offered through our WatchGuard firewall. We wanted to provide an extra layer of security for any internal user looking to access our network remotely.

I use the authpoint solution to access workstations, access VPN services, and access some internal web applications. The solution is very user-friendly to deploy and use. All the configuration is done in the Cloud portal. I have about 50 users, and all these users need the authpoint solution to authenticate to use Windows Logon, VPN access by RADIUS and we have integrated some web portals with SAML to authenticate with authpoint. In the last year, the solution gained several security components, the authpoint risk framework allows to specify network location to allow or block access in some networks with or without MFA, Geolocation to allow or block access from countries, and time to allow access without MFA in specific hours.

WatchGuard AuthPoint allows us and the clients we serve to easily add a second layer of protection on our remote access to internal company resources.
