Securing Android with SurePassID MFA

When it comes to threat vectors, Android operating systems are often overlooked. But organizations that rely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Android devices or custom Android devices can lock down system login with SurePassID, hardening their endpoints and enabling Zero Trust and regulatory compliance.

SurePassID provides a secure yet extensible platform for locking down Android operating systems. We seamlessly integrate with your directory services, including proprietary telecom backends, to extend secure user credentials across your entire enterprise. SurePassID can use built-in biometric authentication on Android mobile devices for passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA).

SurePassID includes a Mobile API Connector that is deployed in the DMZ and acts as an intermediary (proxy) between mobile system logins that request authentication services and SurePassID, which is deployed behind the firewall. The Mobile API Connector supports the same API as SurePassID Universal MFA server so that mobile systems can be in the “trusted zone” or “untrusted zone” of the mobile world while remaining secure.
