One of the most effective security measures against security
breaches and cyber-attacks is multi-factor authentication (MFA).
MFA requires a user to verify their identity by providing two or more
forms of authentication. Typically, this involves something the user
knows (like a password) and something they have (like a code sent
to their phone).
MFA provides an additional layer of security over passwords that prevents
unauthorized data access, especially for organizations storing sensitive
data such as financial records, personal information or trade secrets. The
damage caused by illicit access to sensitive data can be catastrophic, with
costs of both financial losses and reputational damage.
By implementing MFA, organizations can significantly reduce risk and protect
themselves from the associated costs. Even if an attacker manages to steal
a user's password, they will still be unable to access the user's data without
providing additional authentication factors.
