Rublon is a multi-factor authentication platform that offers an extra layer of security for users logging into networks, servers, endpoints, and desktop, cloud, web and mobile applications.[1][2] Rublon MFA secures remote access and local logins using hardware and software authenticators, including the Rublon Authenticator mobile app, which holds the digital identity of the account owner. Numerous Rublon MFA connectors allow strong authentication to be implemented for all or selected users. Individually configurable security policies allow customizing Rublon MFA to suit the organization’s needs.[3] Rublon's multi-factor authentication platform helps protect enterprise data and achieve regulatory compliance.

Users who log in to a Rublon-integrated application can use one of the following authentication methods after providing their password:
- FIDO - A phishing‑resistant FIDO U2F or FIDO2/WebAuthn hardware security key, as well as a FIDO2 passkey stored, for example, in a password manager[4]
- YubiKey OTP - Hardware key supporting YubiKey OTP one-time passwords[4]
- Mobile Push - Push notification sent to the phone, allowing users to one-tap approve logins using the Rublon Authenticator mobile app
- Passcode (TOTP) - One-time password compliant with the RFC 6238[5] standard generated by a mobile application, e.g., Rublon Authenticator, Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator
- SMS Passcode - One-time passcode sent as a text message to the user's phone number
- SMS Link - Link sent as a text message to the user’s phone number, the opening of which logs the user into the integrated application
- Phone Call - Call made to the user’s landline or mobile phone number with a request to press a key to approve access
- QR Code - QR code that can be scanned using the Rublon Authenticator mobile app
- Email Link - Link sent to the user’s email address, the opening of which logs the user into the integrated application
- RFID - RFID authenticator (card, key fob, wristband) placed on the reader during the login process[6]
Mobile app
User accounts can be protected using the Rublon Authenticator mobile app, available for Android, iOS, and Harmony OS operating systems. The app can be activated by scanning a QR code. This process creates a digital identity for the user based on RSA asymmetric cryptographic keys. Once the app is activated, users have access to push notifications, one-time passwords (TOTP), and QR codes as a second authentication step after the password.
Supported applications
Rublon allows securing user accounts through integration using RADIUS, LDAP(S) and SAML protocols. This provides the ability to implement multi-factor authentication for most VPNs and cloud applications. Dozens of VPNs and routers are supported, including manufacturers such as Cisco, Citrix Systems, SonicWall, MikroTik, as well as OpenVPN, Fortinet, and WatchGuard.[7]
Rublon also offers a range of connectors for Microsoft technologies that implement multi-factor authentication for local Windows logins, logins via Remote Desktop Protocol, Remote Desktop Services (RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Web Client), Outlook Web Access, and more.[7]
Plug-ins for WordPress, Jira, Confluence, and modules for SSH and Veritas NetBackup are also available.
Thanks to a wide range of integrations, administrators using Rublon to implement multi-factor authentication can do the integration without programming.[8][9] Java, .NET, and PHP libraries have also been provided for developers.
