EmpowerID Application Gateway is a lightweight microservice designed to embed modern security into legacy applications, helping organizations implement their Zero Trust strategy. It provides Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for legacy apps and microservices without requiring any code changes, ensuring secure and seamless access.

Features

• SSO for Legacy Apps and Microservices: Provides SSO for non-federated APIs and web applications by intercepting and servicing end-user requests with Federated OpenID Connect authentication.
• Granular Access Policies: Uses Policy-Based Access Controls (PBAC) to determine who can and cannot access applications, web pages, and other resources.
• Multifactor Authentication: Offers over 20 types of MFA, including One-time Passwords (OTP), FIDO/Yubikey tokens, and third-party options like DUO, ensuring secure and user-friendly authentication.
• Zero Trust Zoning: Enforces micro-segmentation strategy, allowing unlimited zoning to minimize damage from potential breaches.
• Eliminate Costly On-Premise Middleware and Databases: Provides a cloud-focused alternative to bulky legacy Web Access Management (WAM) solutions, reducing operational and maintenance costs.
• Support Common On-Premise Integration Patterns: Eases transformation and integration by supporting authentication patterns like Kerberos, Integrated Windows Authentication, and Header-Based authentication.

Benefits

• Enhanced Security: Embeds modern security into legacy apps, reducing the risk of breaches and enhancing overall organizational security.
• Operational Efficiency: Simplifies access management processes, saving time and reducing administrative burdens.
• Cost Savings: Reduces operational, identity infrastructure, and maintenance costs by replacing on-premise middleware and databases with a cloud-based solution.
• User-Friendly Interface: Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, facilitating effective access management and compliance.
• Compliance: Ensures adherence to legal and regulatory requirements through automated access management and detailed logging.
