There are many security solutions out there, both for entire systems and for very sophisticated, narrow domains. Below, we describe a solution that protects Skype for Business and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), among other things, from attacks involving the blocking of user accounts.
Want to test the vulnerability of your network? Take the test! More information below.
SkypeShield is an innovative solution that guarantees secure mobile and external connections to Skype for Business via smartphones, tablets, desktops and other devices outside the organization.
According to manufacturer-verified information, connections to the Skype for Business server using the Skype for Business client and through clients outside the organization can reveal confidential information. To mitigate the risk and allow employees to use their own devices, SkypeShield has developed a solution that prevents unauthorized devices from entering the corporate network.
SkypeShield offers the following features:
- Active Directory Services Protection
- Dual authentication
- Blocking DoS, DDoS and Brute Force attacks
- Publication of Reverse Proxy
- Access control at the network edge
- Restrict access for a group of corporate devices
- RSA authentication
- Web publishing protection for Exchange Server
- Secure calls for Skype for Business service
Using Skype for Business from the Internet or ADFS (not just Skype for Business) exposes corporate networks to account locking threats from publishing third-party authentication services. Tests conducted by AGAT Software, the maker of SkypeShield, in some production environments have shown the ability of hackers to block production network accounts on networks that were thought to be secured and protected. To do this, hackers only need to know the username, which is usually easy to guess or find.
AGAT Software offers free trial for companieswho want to check that their network accounts are well protected against account lockout. It is recommended that you check for proper protection, even if you are only using a basic Skype for Business configuration, or if you have implemented the ADFS Extranet Lockout feature for ADFS protection.
The test takes only a few minutes and does not require the tested company to grant network access or privileges. It is conducted using a vulnerability scanning tool developed specifically for this purpose by AGAT Software. The results will not be shared with third parties other than the company itself.
