A
s cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, phishing remains the top attack vector for unauthorized access, with phished credentials leading the charge (Verizon DBIR, 2024). Solving this issue can eliminate over 80% of your company’s cybersecurity risk—and Impress IT Solutions has the answer.
Many cybersecurity tools on the market today offer only partial protection against phishing. That’s because they rely on probabilistic defenses, which aim to reduce risk rather than eliminate it. Impress IT Solutions, however, takes a deterministic approach, offering a complete defense that ensures your business is protected from credential theft.
The Challenge: Phishing and Credential Theft
Phishing attacks trick users into giving up their login credentials via fake websites, emails, or phone calls. Standard defenses like end-user training or basic multi-factor authentication (MFA) help reduce risk, but they don’t fully solve the problem. Attackers are increasingly able to bypass MFA at scale, leading agencies like NIST, CISA, OMB, and NYDFS to call for phishing-resistant MFA solutions.
At Impress IT Solutions, we know that legacy systems leave gaps that attackers can exploit. That’s why we offer advanced security solutions that go beyond traditional approaches, eliminating phishing threats at their source.
Impress IT Solutions’ Approach: Deterministic Security
Eliminate Phishing with Stronger Authentication
Shared secrets like passwords and one-time passcodes (OTPs) are inherently risky. They can be stolen or intercepted, leaving your business exposed. Impress IT Solutions addresses this issue by using public-private key cryptography—completely removing the need for passwords and phishable factors like OTPs, push notifications, or magic links.
In addition, we leverage secure enclaves, specialized hardware components that protect private keys from unauthorized access. This ensures that all authentications are phishing-resistant and device-bound, providing a level of security that’s unmatched by traditional methods.
Prevent Verifier Impersonation
Recognizing legitimate links can be challenging for users, which makes phishing attacks more successful. Impress IT Solutions uses a Platform Authenticator to verify the origin of access requests, preventing attacks that rely on tricking users into clicking on malicious links. This method eliminates the human error element and keeps your business safe from phishing-based impersonation attacks.
Eliminate Credential Stuffing
Credential stuffing is a technique where attackers use stolen usernames and passwords to gain unauthorized access. This type of attack is often automated, making it highly efficient and difficult to stop with conventional tools.
By eliminating passwords entirely from the authentication process, Impress IT Solutions renders credential stuffing attacks ineffective. Our passwordless, phishing-resistant MFA allows users to log in with ease—whether through a touch or glance—on any device they choose, from Windows and Android to macOS, iOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.
Block Push Bombing Attacks
Push bombing attacks overwhelm users with push notifications in an attempt to trick them into approving unauthorized access. Impress IT Solutions mitigates this by not relying on push notifications in our authentication process.
Instead, our phishing-resistant MFA performs device security checks on every device—whether managed or unmanaged—ensuring compliance through integrated third-party risk signals. This eliminates the risk of accidental approvals and keeps your systems secure, no matter what device is being used.
Enforce Device Security Compliance with Fine-Grained Control
At Impress IT Solutions, we believe that secure authentication is about more than just verifying user credentials—it’s also about ensuring the security of the device being used. During authentication, both the user and their device are verified. Our solution offers fine-grained access control that accounts for real-time device risk, both at the time of login and continuously throughout active sessions.
The Platform Authenticator used by Impress IT Solutions provides two major benefits:
- It prevents verifier impersonation.
- As an application residing on the device, it delivers real-time data on the device’s security status, such as whether firewalls are enabled, biometric authentication is active, or disk encryption is in place.
With Impress IT Solutions, you can rest assured that both your users and their devices are secure, ensuring phishing-resistant authentication and continuous security compliance.
Adaptive Access with Integrated Risk Signals
With security tools coming from various sources—such as mobile device management (MDM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)—adaptive, risk-based access control requires comprehensive, up-to-date risk signals.
Impress IT Solutions offers a flexible integration architecture that prevents vendor lock-in while simplifying management. Our policy engine supports continuous authentication, so you can enforce robust security policies, even during active sessions. By continuously assessing risk, we ensure your business stays protected at all times.
