Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Don’t rely on passwords alone to secure your accounts
Can you protect your business from this?
- Your employee receives a phishing email claiming to be from the CEO, requesting an iTunes gift card.
- Your finance team receives an email from what looks like the CEO, asking them to complete a wire transfer.
- Your employee receives an email from HR requesting to change your direct deposit information.
- Your customer support team gets a call from someone claiming to be a customer demanding personal information.
Unfortunately, in most cases, your employees will do as they’re asked.

Phishing attacks are one of the biggest threats to businesses
If an employee is tricked into sharing their credentials with a cybercriminal, it can cost their company thousands or even millions of dollars.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), is a security enhancement that provides a secondary login credential in addition to the primary password. This can include a one-time code sent to a personal device, or a biometric challenge like a fingerprint scan. If a cybercriminal somehow obtains the primary password, they will be stopped by the secondary MFA requirement.
Businesses can protect themselves by requiring all employees to perform this secondary verification of identity during the login process, increasing protection against any possible attack.
