Gradient Differentiation

For enterprise authentication, Gradient Stealth MFA offers distinct advantages over hardware keys, passkeys, and other passwordless offerings, delivering a superior, seamless, and secure experience. Below, we delve into how Gradient stands apart in each area, providing unmatched security, user convenience, and ease of management that cater to the needs of CISOs, CIOs, IT, and cybersecurity executives and senior engineers. Explore the detailed benefits that make Gradient the best choice for your organization:

Advantages over Hardware Keys

Better security than hardware keys – and without the user frustrations, operational complexities, and high cost of ownership.

Superior User Experience

Gradient “one-click” passwordless eliminates the hassle of managing an extra device, frequent taps, and the risk of misplacements, providing a frictionless and efficient login process.

Simplified IT Operations

With no additional hardware to manage, Gradient reduces the complexity of device management and eliminates user lockouts due to lost or malfunctioning keys.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Lower your total cost of ownership by reducing helpdesk tickets and costs associated with hardware purchases, lost keys, and lockouts. Gradient’s software-based solution is more economical and easier to manage.

Compare Total Cost of Ownership

Enhanced Security

Gradient anchors user identities and session tokens to their devices, providing superior security compared to hardware keys. Protect not only against Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) attacks, but also against post-MFA attacks such as Token Replay and Token Theft and more.

Advantages over Passkeys

Imagine a better user experience than passkeys but with enterprise-grade management capabilities and stronger security.

Enterprise Ready

While passkeys simplify passwords for direct consumer use cases, they are not suited for enterprise environments. Apple and Microsoft do not support passkeys in managed business environments due to the lack of central management capabilities.

Secure Administration

Passkeys are protected by traditional passwords and MFA, which are required to create or change them, making them susceptible to the same vulnerabilities. Gradient eliminates these risks with passwordless, one-click authentication.

Anchored Sessions

Passkeys do not identify the user-device combination and do not anchor the application session. Gradient ensures that both user identity and session tokens are anchored to the device, enhancing security and preventing session hijacking.

Short-Lived Credentials

Unlike passkeys, which are typically valid for 12 months, Gradient uses short-lived credentials, significantly reducing the window for potential misuse and enhancing security.

Advantages over Passwordless Offerings

Security that also secures session tokens and protects against post-MFA attacks such as Token Replay, Token Theft, and more.

Comprehensive Identity Anchoring

Unlike other solutions that only establish a Device ID with the TPM, Gradient anchors both the user identity and session tokens to the device. This unified approach ensures that authentication is not just tied to an unverified device, preventing session tokens from being vulnerable to theft.

Continuous Trust Verification

Many passwordless solutions fail to continuously validate the trustworthiness of the hardware root of trust. Gradient continuously attests to the integrity of the device, ensuring that the hardware remains uncompromised throughout the session.



Resilience Against Advanced Threats

Other solutions often rely on EDR and OSQuery, which can be easily circumvented by manipulating the Root of Trust, such as changing the master boot record. Gradient’s continuous attestation and secure credential management protect against such advanced threats.

Enhanced Cloud Security

Gradient offers a more secure cloud infrastructure compared to other passwordless solutions, which may leave cloud environments vulnerable. Our platform ensures that your enterprise remains protected against sophisticated cyberattacks targeting cloud assets.

Unified Device and User Authentication

While other solutions may only focus on identifying the device, Gradient securely anchors the user-device combination and the application session. This comprehensive approach prevents session hijacking and enhances overall security.

Superior Mobile Security

Mobile solutions that merely act as passkeys or remain unanchored leave significant security gaps. Gradient ensures that mobile devices are securely integrated, maintaining the same high level of security and continuous validation.
