What does AdminConnect use for access control?

AdminConnect employs PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Machine Authentication for access control, which enhances security by validating the identity of machines through cryptographic key pairs. This method ensures that only trusted devices can access the AdminConnect services, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. By using machine authentication, AdminConnect leverages a more secure and scalable approach compared to traditional username and password authentication or multi-factor authentication.

PKI facilitates a system where public and private keys are used in conjunction, allowing for secure communication and authentication processes. This is especially important in environments handling sensitive information, as it provides a robust framework for verifying identities without exposing credential data that could be exploited.

While other methods, such as username and password authentication and multi-factor authentication, can enhance security, they often involve human factors that may introduce vulnerabilities. Behavioral analysis, on the other hand, focuses on monitoring user activities and does not strictly provide direct access control mechanisms like PKI does. Thus, PKI Machine Authentication stands out as the primary method used by AdminConnect for establishing secure access control.
