Vision33's New Security Features
This page provides information about Vision33's new cloud security features
and the multi-factor authentication (MFA) enrollment process.
About the New Security Features
In keeping with our commitment to deliver secure, high-value ERP solutions, Vision33 is adding multi-factor authentication and password management to all cloud-hosted environments. Feature details are outlined below.
What is Multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
Multi-factor authentication provides another layer of protection against unauthorized access to SAP Business One and your data. Here’s how it works. After entering a username and password, licensed users will be prompted to validate who they are (also known as authentication) using one of three methods – passcode provided via SMS text, phone call, or via an authentication app. Vision33 has chosen Cisco Duo to support this capability.
What is Password Management?
Self-service password management provides a better user experience for our customers while enhancing security measures. The password management solution will:
- Establish a complex password policy (e.g. - 10 characters, one capital and lower-case letter, one number, and special characters).
- Enforce end-user compliance with the established policy
- Enable users to reset their password (self-service password reset)
- Automatically trigger password reset every 6 months (password expiry)
- Prohibit re-use of the last 24 passwords
- Lock users out for 30 minutes after 5 unsuccessful login attempts
This functionality will be live following enrollment in MFA.
No action is required.
About MFA Enrollment
Every SAP Business One user will be prompted to enroll in MFA the first time they login following their company's enrollment date. They will not be able to login to the system again until they do. Enrollment is fast and easy.
