The Importance of MFA and Why It's Critical for Today's Businesses - featuring DUO™
What is MFA? When you sign into your online accounts - a process we call "authentication" - you're proving to the service that you are who you say you are. You may hear it called "Two-Step Verification" or "Multifactor Authentication" but the good ones all operate off the same principle. When you sign into the account for the first time on a new device or app (like a web browser) you need more than just the username and password. You need a second thing - what we call a second "factor" - to prove who you are.
Why use MFA? The main benefit of MFA is it will enhance your organization's security by requiring your users to identify themselves by more than a username and password. Enforcing the use of an MFA factor means increased confidence that your organization will stay safe from cyber criminals.
MFA can protect you and your company from:
Phishing
Keyloggers
Credential stuffing
Brute force and reverse brute force attacks
...and many more!
