Abstract: A system and method including defining at least one device authentication policy; at a policy engine, initializing authentication policy processing for an authenticator device; collecting device status assessment; evaluating policy compliance of the device status assessment to an associated defined device authentication policy; and enforcing use of the authenticator device according to the policy compliance.

Abstract: A system and method for providing secondary-factor authentication with a third party application that can include enrolling a device application instance of an account into a secondary-factor authentication service on behalf of a service provider that includes at the secondary-factor authentication service, receiving a secondary factor of authentication enrollment request of an account, the request received from the service provider, transmitting an activation code, and pairing the device application instance with the account through the activation code; receiving an authentication request identifying the account; transmitting an authentication request to the device application instance paired with the account; validating a response to the application request; and transmitting an assessment to the service provider.

Abstract: A system and method that include receiving a service provider identity request through a federated authentication protocol; transmitting a proxy identity request to a configured identity provider; receiving an identity assertion; facilitating execution of a second layer of authentication; determining a proxy identity assertion based on the identity assertion and the second layer of authentication; and transmitting the proxy identity assertion to the service provider.

Abstract: A system and method that includes identifying a vulnerability in a computing device; accessing a vulnerability exploitation mapped to the identified vulnerability; at the computing device, executing the vulnerability exploitation and entering an operating mode of escalated privileges; and while in the operating mode of escalated privileges, updating the system with a vulnerability resolution.

Abstract: A system and method including defining at least one device authentication policy; at a policy engine, initializing authentication policy processing for an authenticator device; collecting device status assessment; evaluating policy compliance of the device status assessment to an associated defined device authentication policy; and enforcing use of the authenticator device according to the policy compliance.

Abstract: Various systems and methods of embedded authentication are described herein. One method of the preferred embodiment can include receiving at an authentication server a transaction token from a host website, the host website including an embeddable interface and prompting a user challenge by the authentication server at the embeddable interface. The method of the preferred embodiment can also include creating a signed authentication token in response to a successful user challenge, and transmitting the signed authentication token from the authentication server to the embeddable interface.
