Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Secure File Transfer

Enforce zero-trust identity verification across Titan SFTP, Web UI, and File Sharing environments with enterprise-grade multi-factor authentication.

Talk to a Solutions Architect

Overview

The Advanced Authentication module enforces multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Titan SFTP environments, adding an additional identity verification layer to protect secure file access from credential compromise.

Designed specifically for Titan SFTP secure file transfer environments, Advanced Authentication strengthens identity assurance across browser-based portals and external file access workflows.

Unlike generic MFA plugins, Advanced Authentication is built directly into Titan SFTP, ensuring seamless enforcement across secure file transfer workflows without external identity gateways.

The challenges​

Our subscription model delivers enhanced value while providing the flexibility and predictability modern enterprises demand.

Firewall Exposure

Opening inbound ports introduces risk and compliance gaps, creating vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.

User Friction​

Complex VPNs and gateways slow productivity, creating barriers between users and the secure file access they need.

Legacy Costs

On-prem hardware DMZs are expensive and hard to scale, requiring significant capital investment and maintenance overhead.

Fragmented Management​

Multiple tools create blind spots across transfer workflows, making it difficult to maintain comprehensive security oversight.

Key Capabilities​

Enforced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Require a second authentication factor beyond passwords to prevent unauthorized access to secure file transfer systems.

Zero-Trust Identity Controls

Align Titan SFTP deployments with zero-trust security models by verifying user identity at every login event.

Granular Policy Enforcement

Apply MFA requirements by user, group, or role to meet compliance mandates and internal security standards.

Secure Verification Methods

Support industry-standard MFA methods including Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, SMS, and email verification.

Audit-Ready Authentication Logging

Maintain full visibility into login activity and authentication events through Titan Syslog integration.

This strengthens differentiation vs generic MFA plugins.

Why it matters

  • Enforces robust identity-proofing across the login flow.
  • Protects against phishing, stolen credentials, and brute-force attacks.
  • Essential for compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI, SOX, and NIST.
  • Provides secure user verification for Web UI & File Sharing a access.
  • Adds a critical security layer to enterprise SFTP deployments.
