Understanding MFA Consolidation
MFA (multi-factor authentication) consolidation refers to the process of merging two or more authentication systems into one platform. Consolidating authentication systems makes it easier to manage IT security while also improving security by reducing the number of passwords that employees need to remember. However, the process of MFA consolidation isn’t always simple, especially when it comes to legacy systems. This technical guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of MFA consolidation and the challenges involved in the process.
Complexity of Legacy Systems
One of the primary challenges of MFA consolidation is the presence of legacy systems. Legacy systems often use obsolete technologies that can’t be easily integrated with new systems. This can lead to an integration nightmare and present significant security risks.
Before initiating the consolidation process, SurePassID determines the compatibility of the legacy systems. If the existing system can’t be integrated, we explore other options like replacing it with a new solution that can be integrated into the company’s ecosystem.

Incompatible Authentication Mechanisms
Challenge: Different authentication systems may use different authentication mechanisms, which can lead to conflicts and compatibility issues that may affect the consolidation process.
Solution: When merging authentication systems, IT teams must ensure that the authentication mechanisms are compatible. If they aren’t, different authentication mechanisms must be integrated into a single mechanism or changed to a common mechanism before they are merged.
Lack of Standardization
Challenge: MFA systems from different vendors use different standards and protocols. This can complicate the process of combining systems from different vendors.
Solution: IT teams can overcome this challenge by adopting a single standard for all MFA systems used in the organization. This standardization approach not only simplifies the integration process but also enhances security.
Integration of Third-Party Applications
Challenge: Third-party applications typically require additional authentication mechanisms and may not integrate fully with existing MFA systems.
Solution: Integrating third-party systems with existing MFA systems is best achieved through the use of APIs. IT teams must ensure that the APIs comply with compliance standards before they are integrated into the existing system.
