Multi-Factor Authentication and Whitelisting IP Addresses Support Network Security
Helping your organization secure your data and system access is a top priority. Over the past year, we have implemented two security initiatives to help your organization do just that. Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
In July, we rolled out multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all XiFin Client Portal customers. MFA is an added layer of protection to secure data and applications in which users are required to present two or more credentials to verify their identity for login. Users may choose authentication by email address or through the Google authentication app, neither of which requires special setup or configuration. If your organization wants to use the Okta authentication app for MFA or integrate the XiFin system with your organization’s existing identity management solution, please contact your XiFin Customer Success Manager (CSM). Whitelisting IP addresses In 2022, we enabled whitelisting IP addresses. Whitelisting IP addresses is a good way to help protect access to your systems. It is an important part of your network security and can significantly reduce the risk associated with attempts of unauthorized access to your systems. Whitelisting can be applied to users’ IP addresses and/or web service (i.e., API) integrations. XiFin is in the process of rolling
out IP whitelisting for web service/API calls on a customer-by- customer basis. Please expect your CSM to reach out to you about this if they haven’t already done so. You still have the option to use whitelisting for the user interface as well. Your user administrator controls and maintains the list of IP addresses permitted access to the system. If your organization has remote employees that connect to the company network using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), there is no need to whitelist a separate IP address for each remote staff member. Also, if your organization uses its own identity and credentialing management system, IP address whitelisting for XiFin system users is not applicable.
