Multi-Factor Authentication

Passwords. They may drive you mad but at least they keep your details secure...Or do they?

According to a recent survey, on average 2 out of 5 people have had their password stolen and 7 out of 10 people no longer trust passwords to protect their accounts. 68% of people say they want companies to provide an extra layer of security and 86% of businesses who use Multi-Factor Authentication feel their data is more secure.

How it works...

Multi-Factor Authentication adds an extra element to the signing in process, offering an additional layer of protection. This may be via a number of external devices, such as an extra password or pin number, a user key fob, finger, voice or eye recognition, or simply by their mobile phone. Chances are, you’re probably already using it when logging into your online accounts such as your bank. It ultimately turns your weak password into a strong password.

How it helps...

With the inherent threats of security breaches on IT systems and the rise in cyber-related crime it is imperative that you protect your systems. We strongly recommend businesses of all sizes implement Multi-Factor Authentication to add protection around user sign in. This helps prevent unauthorised users from gaining access to your systems and confidential documents. It may sound dramatic, but having this extra layer of protection can be the difference between being compromised and staying secure!

Key benefits…

Help comply with GDPR regulations

It can also help your business become more compliant. Everyone’s heard of GDPR, and even though there isn’t a single solution that can make your company GDPR compliant overnight, safeguarding your data by using MFA is certainly a step in the right direction. A study published by ENISA (the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security) highly recommends Multi-Factor Authentication in order to help comply with GDPR.
