Adding MFA to Legacy and On-Premises Applications
Datawiza adds multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication (2FA) to your legacy and on-premises apps and systems without code changes. It integrates with your preferred MFA services like Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD, Office 365, M365), Okta, Duo, Ping Identity (PingOne), Google Workspace, and phishing resistant MFAs, e.g., FIDO security keys and PIV smart cards that government agencies use.

Legacy and on-premises apps lacking support for modern SSO (single sign-on) protocols are difficult to add MFA or 2FA
- Custom homegrown internal and customer-facing applications
- Third-party web applications and windows desktop applications
- Legacy ERP and CRM systems, like JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, E-Business Suite, Siebel, Hyperion
- Header-based applications involving legacy WAM (Web Access Management) solutions, like Oracle Access Manager, CA Siteminder and others.
Acting as a MFA proxy, Datawiza seamlessly integrates MFA or 2FA with your legacy and on-premises applications without touching the source code.

How It Works
The Datawiza platform consists of two major components:
- Lightweight, container-based Datawiza Access Proxy (DAP) integrates with identity providers to enable SSO (Single Sign-On), MFA (2FA) and granular authorization. DAP can be deployed as a gateway or a sidecar.
- Centralized Datawiza Cloud Management Console (DCMC) enables access policy configuration, aggregates logs, and provides visibility.

“Datawiza is the easy button to get all your legacy, aging applications and associated tech debt moved into modern security, with a measurable quality increase in user experience for end customers. You can tackle these initiatives internally, or you can just switch it on overnight by using the Datawiza Access Proxy to secure all your data.”
Warren KennerLead Architect and Director of cloud, uLab
“Datawiza is a partner in our Secure Hybrid Access program. Their fast, secure solution helps our customers take advantage of the multifactor authentication capabilities built into Azure AD (now part of Microsoft Entra) to protect their portfolio of critical Oracle business solution.”
