User Access Security Broker (UASB) by Secfense is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed to implement and manage strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor authentication (2FA) across an organization's web applications, VPNs, and services. Operating as a reverse proxy between users and applications, it learns authentication traffic patterns and enforces MFA without altering existing application code or databases. UASB can be deployed as a physical device or virtual appliance, supporting installation on various hypervisors, with VMware being a common option. The system utilizes a 'one-legged' network design with a single interface and IP address, supporting different deployment scenarios including inline setups with or without load balancers and 'on a stick' configurations. It enables the deployment of various authentication methods, including FIDO2, biometrics, and traditional 2FA methods, on any web application within minutes. UASB aims to eliminate phishing threats throughout an organization by providing a layer of protection that stands before applications, securing the user authentication process. It supports applications in containers, public clouds, and private datacenters, enhancing security for both office-based and remote workers.
