February 23, 2022 – The CSIA, National Security Agency, and FBI released a Joint Cyber Security Announcement today indicating that Cyclops Blink has been deployed to WatchGuard protected devices. This particularly insidious malware is thought to emanate from Sandworm, also known as Voodoo Bear, and said to originate from the Russian Main Center for Special Technologies.
One thing that you have to be mindful of as an AuthPoint user is that your log-in capabilities are tied to your smart device, should you choose to use that instead of a hardware token. The good news is that migrating your token from one device to another does not take very long, but it requires some review before you begin.
One of the newest updates in AuthPoint allows you to create policies for access. This allows you to control the type of multi-factor authentication requirements for different groups of users, based on the resource they are logging into. You can also use the policies to set priorities on logins, based on their order.
