Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for identifying users may include (i) detecting that a user at an endpoint computing device is connecting to an identity provider, (ii) detecting, after detecting that the user at the endpoint computing device is connecting to the identity provider, that a mobile device has received a second-factor authentication message, (iii) discovering, by a security service, that the user at the endpoint computing device matches a known user profile registered to the mobile device by correlating the user at the endpoint computing device connecting to the identity provider with the mobile device receiving the second-factor authentication message, and (iv) applying a security policy to the user at the endpoint computing device based on the known user profile matched to the user by the security service. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
