AlgoInvestr.io
AlgoInvestr.io decided early on they wanted to move away from Single-Factor Username/Password authentication; recent high-profile attacks & weaknesses identified against 2FA + One-Time Passcodes sent via SMS & Email meant AlgoInvestr.io no longer felt a 2FA solution was future proof in a world where cyber threats are evolving daily; instead opting for an Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solution for their Web Trading & Portfolio Mgt application.
AlgoInvestr.io wanted a cost-effective, flexible & easy to integrate MFA solution that could be hosted on their hybrid cloud & on-prem infrastructure; scale as the load on their trading platform grew; be easily deployed, managed & supported by a small in-house tech team; have next-gen features like adapative authentication, biometrics, threat detection, event monitoring & alerting built-in without extra cost; & offer a frictionless One-tap authentication experience with a custom branded Authenticator app.
