Multi Party Authorization

Multi-Party Authorization, MPA is short calls for a documented and authoritative user approval of an action for the second time before it is permitted to occur in the network. It is employed to ensure protection and security of a network control systems from the harmful insider or the naive user. Multi-Party Authorization compliments multi-factor authentication in true sense. Multi-factor authentication engages couple of ways in order to identify an entity attempting access to the network after proper authentication.

On the other hand, Multi-Party Authorization allows system administrators to enforce policy that asks for more than one documented and cleared entity approval of a certain activity before it can be executed. Hence, MPA is certainly a pro-active way to protect a sensitive network from the malicious insider.

MPA is executed by using control software in order to enhance security of vital network infrastructure. It also ensures data security to the highest extend avoiding incompatible action. The controlling software plays the pivotal role to save the system from harmful insider or novice user. The control software is often termed as key2control, which is patent technology name for MPA. This software protects essential ingredients in a secured network. Key2control protects active infrastructure devices on a network as well as data coming from various sources.

The control software allows execution of the latest security policy in order to protect essential assets on a network, several management activities, stored record and huge volume of data. All of them are effectively protected using second time authorization process on a secured network before an action happens to be executed. It is an observed fact that most of the networks are often affected by the insider attack; hence, MPA has its unique features to reduce the unsuitable action of a malicious insider or naive operator.

Several enterprises having networks providing fiscal information, electronic health records and other vital information require protection of valuable information and data from the harmful or naive insider. Multi party authorization is the ultimate solution to this issue.
