iSecurity Multi Factor Authentication (iSecurity MFA)
What is iSecurity Multi Factor Authentication?
iSecurity Multi Factor Authentication (iSecurity MFA) provides MFA identity verification for IBM i users.
iSecurity MFA helps satisfy the need for MFA user validation and strict access controls on IBM i servers, required by regulatory and compliance standards such as the US Government's Cybersecurity Requirements, PCI DSS, 23 NYCRR 500 and other standards such as SOX, GLBA, GDPR and HIPAA.
iSecurity MFA verifies IBM i user identities using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Hosted on an IBM i server (pure IBM i environment, no additional hardware needed) rather than on an external network server, iSecurity MFA can validate user identities for multiple IBM i services, including:
- Secure Sign On
- FTP Server
- REXEC

- ODBC
- File Server
- Remote PGM/CMD
