As digital transformation continues to deepen, identity has become the new frontier in cybersecurity. From remote employee access to inter-system API calls, identity authentication is evolving from a mere "login method" into a core component of enterprise security systems.
However, traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) typically focus only on traffic-level protection, lacking in-depth identification and management capabilities for user identities.
SafeLine WAF breaks this limitation by integrating unified identity authentication capabilities natively, offering it entirely for free, helping businesses easily build a zero-trust security perimeter based on identity.
1. Supports Multiple Authentication Methods, Flexibly Adapts to Various Scenarios
SafeLine's built-in identity authentication module covers the mainstream authentication methods needed for daily enterprise use:
- Username + Password Login Quick setup, plug-and-play; Supports password complexity validation, login failure lockout, and brute-force protection mechanisms; Can be paired with CAPTCHA to improve account security.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) Support One login grants access to multiple systems, enhancing user experience; Compatible with standard protocols (such as OIDC), ensuring high interoperability.
2. Full-Process Authentication Logs, Meeting Compliance and Audit Requirements
SafeLine not only decides "who can access," but also tracks "who accessed, when, and what they did." Full-process authentication logs help businesses achieve security transparency:
- Clear visibility of the authentication method (local/third-party) and source platform;
- Detailed records of login IP, login time, and other login details;
- Alerts for abnormal login behaviors (e.g., login from different locations, frequent attempts).
3. Easy Configuration, Flexible Deployment, and Ready to Use Out of the Box
The identity authentication module is ready to use right out of the box, with no additional plugins required;
All configurations can be completed through a graphical interface;
Supports various deployment models including on-premises, cloud-native, and hybrid cloud;
With OpenAPI, it integrates seamlessly with enterprise systems.
