Multi-Factor Authentication for Netskope Admins
Multi-Factor Authentication for Netskope Admins
Most enterprise accounts implement Netskope SSO for management console access. In addition, local accounts are created for emergency access for a variety of business use cases. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enhances the security of the user log in process by requiring users to provide unique authentication in addition to their regular sign in.
The Netskope platform supports MFA for Netskope admins to log in to the Netskope management console using a local administrator account.
