Defender 5.2 Benefits Summary

Migration

The ability to undertake a gradual migration to Defender from incumbent legacy authentication solutions is of crucial importance to security administrators.

With Defender and the legacy system running side-by-side, Defender’s RADIUS proxy feature enables administrators to direct user authentication requests to Defender. If the user is not defined within Defender, the authentication request is transparently passed, via the proxy feature, to the incumbent authentication solution. This enables administrators to migrate users to Defender as and when tokens expire.

Centralized Administration

Defender integrates fully with Microsoft’s® distributed directory service, Active Directory®. This integration leverages all the advantages of the centralized management of the directory information through a common, user-familiar interface.

User token assignment is simply an additional attribute to a user’s properties within the directory, making the security administrator’s role significantly easier.
