3 Factor
Authentication (3FA)
Benefits Of 3 Factor Authentication
90% of all internet breaches are due to stolen login credentials
Cannot Be Easily Bypassed
Threat actors can use real-time man-in-the-middle attacks to bypass legacy MFA solutions
Reduce Credential threat risk by 99.9%
Eliminate the risk of breaches involving phishing or stolen credentials making unauthorized access nearly impossible
Reduce IT/Support Tickets By 75%
Simplifying password policies significantly lowers or eliminates password reset and related support tickets
How Does SecureTrust's 3FA Solution Work?
3 factor authentication enhances security through a multilayered approach. Users must provide three distinct forms of identification before gaining system access.
SecureTrust’s 3FA solution includes:
- A username/password or PIN (something you know).
- A physical token like a YubiKey (something you have).
- Biometric data such as a fingerprint (something you are).
Together, these three factors create robust protection. It’s highly unlikely a bad actor could simultaneously access all three forms of authentication.
Even if they steal a password, they would still need the physical token and fingerprint to get in. This makes 3FA extremely secure and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3 factor authentication (3FA)?
3 Factor Authentication (3FA) is a security measure requiring users to provide three forms of identification before gaining system access: something they know (e.g., a password), something they have (e.g., a physical token), and something they are (e.g., biometric data).
What does 3FA protect against?
3FA blocks hackers and thieves from gaining access to your account. It does this by making users prove who they are three different ways before they can log in.
First, by entering a password. Then, by using a special coded key or card. And finally, with biometrics like a fingerprint or face scan.
Attackers might steal your password through phishing or other tricks. But cracking all three forms of ID? Nearly impossible.
3FA’s multilayered approach locks down precious data, deals, and infrastructure better than anything else out there. Top-notch security to keep your company safe.
What's the difference between 3FA and MFA?
The main difference between 3FA and MFA is that MFA can mean only using two forms of ID to log in. That could be a password plus getting a code texted to your phone.
3FA takes it a step further by specifying 3 factors – something you know (like a password), something you have (like a special code generator), and something you are (like your fingerprint).
3FA isn’t just more secure by adding another factor. It also sets clearer expectations by spelling out the specific types of ID required.
This helps companies get on the same page about tightening security and following industry standards. Bottom line, the “3” in 3FA makes security policies and requirements way more well-defined.
Is 3FA better than 2FA?
3FA is more secure by adding another barrier to entry. But more locks on the door can mean more hassle for users and IT professionals.
An organization needs to weigh if that extra safety is worth the trouble. 3FA makes sense for businesses holding sensitive data or in highly regulated industries. Places where a breach could really hurt.
For others, 2FA may still get the job done against most threats. Have your security team, or a virtual CISO, conduct a risk assessment to decide if upgrading to 3FA is worth the investment.
How do I practically implement 3FA for my organization?
You can easily implement 3FA for your organization by purchasing Helios Network Security.
How much is SecureTrust's 3FA solution?
You can add 3FA to your Helios Network Security subscription starting at $9.99/mon per token. There is a minimum purchase requirement of 5.
Can I purchase just the 3FA solution?
No, SecureTrust does not sell 3FA as a standalone solution. You must also purchase our Network Security solution. Get an instant quote today and see how much you could be saving.
What is Extended Threat Protection (XTP)?
Extended Threat Protection (XTP) is SecureTrust’s solution to preventing and/or containing ransomware from compromising your network. XTP converges our proven 3 factor authentication, advanced microsegmentation, and multilayered threat prevention into a single, cloud-based, and globally distributed service.
Our 3FA solution stops account takeovers at the source by preventing credential phishing. It’s nearly impossible for the bad guys to get a foothold into your systems without the ability to compromise an account.
The second layer of XTP is microsegmentation, which is delivered by our Helios Cloud SASE platform. Our defense-in-depth security platform segments users and devices. In the event of a breach, the blast radius of the attack is contained to that user or device. As a result, this prevents attackers from moving laterally across your network in their attempt to escalate privileges.
