Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, announced new safeguards to its reinforced, tightly integrated security tech stack. Comprised of four solutions—Ulaa, Zoho Directory, Zoho OneAuth, and Zoho Vault—Zoho’s security stack provides businesses the highest level of protection against tracking, breaches, and attacks, without sacrificing employee and organizational productivity.
Today, security breaches are more frequent and costly than ever before. A recent IBM report estimates the global average cost of a data breach in 2023 to be $4.45 million, more than enough to put some companies out of business. To help global organizations defend against growing threats, Zoho’s stack is comprised of a privacy-first browser (Ulaa), workforce identity and access management (IAM) platform (Directory), multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution (OneAuth), as well as a secure password manager (Vault).
“Metrigy’s research data shows that attacks against business applications are continuing to increase, while at the same time, many organizations lack a comprehensive, full-stack approach for protecting themselves against growing risk,” says Irwin Lazar, President and Principal Analyst at Metrigy. “In addition, adoption of generative AI is growing, with nearly 85% of our research participants using or planning to use it while only 39% have implemented a generative AI security strategy. Zoho’s integrated approach, combining identity and access management with a secure browser provides IT and cybersecurity leaders with an integrated suite of tools to secure application and data access, including generative AI services.”

“We are really pleased that Zoho continues to focus specifically on its security-related offerings,” said Jeff Anderson, Vice President of IT at Integris Credit Union. “We’ve implemented Ulaa, Vault, and OneAuth, and connected them to over a dozen SaaS applications using Zoho Directory. As a credit union, Integris is entrusted with incredibly sensitive customer data, and we won’t take chances on the security, privacy, and trust of our customers. These tools provide protections we need while offering simplified management for IT, which saves us time and money. Integris Credit Union now uses all four applications in Zoho’s security stack, and I dare say, we could not do without them anymore.”
OneAuth, Zoho’s multi-factor authentication solution, now offers Smart Sign-in, providing users a faster way to log into their Zoho accounts by scanning a secure QR code. Additionally, Zoho has made it easier to enforce MFA across organizations, enabling administrators to add employees by carrying over their MFA session from web browser to mobile device, removing friction from the adoption process. OneAuth’s passwordless feature allows Zoho users to enter their username, after which they can log in via a push notification and biometric verification. In case of MFA-fatigue attacks, users can enable Restrict Sign-in and lock accounts from further attempts.
