IT SECURITY
MFA (Multifactor Authentication) – WatchGuard AuthPoint is the affordable cloud solution to secure your business data
How certain are you that your business data is safe? According to a recent study, passwords like ‘123456’, ‘azerty’ and ‘password’ are still widely used, and no less than 65% of all internet users use the same password across multiple accounts. That’s a gift for hackers!
You wouldn’t leave your house unlocked when you go out, would you? The same caution should apply to access to your business network and data. Make sure that digital door is always securely locked. Multifactor authentication, or MFA, is the most user-friendly solution.
Request a scan to detect data leaks on your domain or email addresses.
This way you can take immediate action and safeguard your information.
81% of all data breaches are caused by a weak password, often reused across multiple applications. It seems very hard for people to unlearn this ‘careless’ behavior. Meanwhile, hackers are getting smarter every day.
Passwords alone are no longer enough to protect your data.
What is Multifactor Authentication or MFA?
MFA adds an extra layer of protection before granting access to an account. At least two technologies are used to verify a user’s identity: something you know (a password), something you are (facial recognition or a fingerprint), or something you have (a smartphone or token).
After entering a password, an extra step (or factor) is required before access is granted. This simple method greatly enhances the security of your network and applications.
WatchGuard AuthPoint
MFA is an absolute necessity for companies, an essential part of your security policy.
