Enable Multi-factor Authentication for UEBA

NetWitness offers Multi-factor authentication (MFA), using which you can configure an additional layer of credentials to secure your identity and manage access. If you enable MFA, then the administrative user will be prompted to additional identifications at the time of log in, such as verification code sent to the mobile number or mobile authentication application.

To Configure MFA

  1. Go to admin icon Admin > Account Settings > Multi-Factor Authentication. The Multi-Factor Authentication page is displayed.
  2. Select ON, OFF or OPTIONAL as per your requirement.

The following table provides information on the different MFA settings that NetWitness Cloud Portal offers:
