Single factor isn’t enough anymore.
If you still rely solely on passwords to authenticate users, your business is at greater risk for attack. Stolen or guessed passwords are frequently sold on the dark web and can give hackers a direct route into critical systems and customer data. Microsoft reports that multi-factor authentication (MFA), even in its simplest form, blocks 99.9% of automated attacks, dramatically reducing the threat from phishing and credential-theft schemes.
Only a minority of small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are aware of the security benefits of MFA. The Cyber Readiness Institute reports that 65% of SMBs don’t use MFA or plan to implement it, and only 17% have internal cybersecurity policies in place that require MFA. This leaves a wide-open window for compromise, especially as attackers become better at crafting phishing messages and stealing login details.
The power and simplicity of MFA.
Multi-factor authentication secures access by requesting two (or more) forms of proof: something you know (password), something you have (a phone or hardware token), and/or something you are (biometrics). Even if a password is stolen, cybercriminals can’t access your data without this second step.
Implementing MFA doesn’t have to be disruptive. Today’s solutions are user-friendly and can adapt to all sorts of business environments, whether your team is in the office, working remotely, or on the go.
