BNP Paribas Bank Polska has started cooperation with Secfense,
a Polish startup cybersecurity company based in Krakow.
The cooperation between BNP Paribas Bank Polska and Secfense focuses mainly on developing a modern MFA solution. Especially during the pandemic, multi-factor authentication
(also known as strong or two-factor authentication) has become one of the best ways to limit the risks of phishing and credential theft. Strong authentication ensures equally high-security levels for both users requesting access from home and at the office.
According to a recent Gartner study, companies that introduce remote work quickly and without MFA in 2021 will experience five times more account takeover incidents than those that use MFA. (Gartner, Enhance Remote Access Security with Multi-factor Authentication and Access Management, May 2020)
Until recently, a large-scale MFA adoption has been a difficult undertaking since it necessitated changing the codes of existing applications. User Access Security Broker, a new technology developed by Secfense, solves this issue. Its main features are scalability and flexibility, which allow for MFA deployment on any number of applications and freedom to choose any authentication method that is best suited to the way the applications are used.
Cybersecurity experts at BNP Paribas Bank Polska appreciate the User Access Security Broker developed by Secfense. Our Cybersecurity team will work together with Secfense to further improve this solution.

“We are faced with new challenges every day. We must always be one step ahead of the attackers and know what they are going to do before they do it. We are convinced that User Access Security Broker will bring security to a new level, both for those working at the office and from home. For us, working with Secfense is an opportunity to exchange experience with
developers who put great value on out-of-the-box thinking.”
