Machine Lock enable Silo Administrators to have the option to control Silo client access only to designated workstations, or company-issued machines. This helps restrict Silo access against personal machines, or personal Silo accounts while working within an Enterprise environment.
Technical Requirements
Silo gathers various (immutable and mutable) machine data, and transmits them to Authentic8 during the launch process. Among the immutable data collected is a data point stored in the local machine’s Windows Registry.
A unique Windows Registry value is then used as a reference for Machine Lock in order to identify the machine owner.
Workflow
An end-user attempts to log into Silo from a Windows machine:
- Does the Windows Registry attribute of the connecting device exist in the Locked Devices table?
• If Yes, which Silo organization does the locked state apply to?
• Is the login username associated with the Silo organization?
• If Yes, allow the login. If No, block the login and issue a notification message via the Silo client - If No, the end-user may log in normally
