Is Your Data Secure Enough? The Importance of Two-factor Authentication

Remote or hybrid working environments have accelerated the urgency to strengthen cybersecurity as more people continue to work from home and access devices, networks, systems and applications from multiple locations. Businesses now need to consider more than just the corporate perimeter and take into account the extended risk of this widening network of access. Passwords alone provide insufficient protection due to phishing scams and in this context, 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) provides an extra layer of protection, creating the best line of defense against cyber threats.

2FA technology blends at least two separate factors. One is typically your username and password, which is something you know. The other could be:

• Something you have: A mobile phone, keycard, or USB could all verify your identity.
• Something you are: Fingerprints, iris scans, or some other biometric data to prove your identity.

Strong authentication, through tools such as hardware security keys, could bolster security without inconveniencing the user by facilitating quick OTPs and other verification methods. If your business has not implemented 2FA yet, it’s time to consider mitigating your risks to limit exposure. Dialog Enterprise’s Managed Security Operations Centre (MSOC) can help you monitor and analyze your security posture on an ongoing basis to mitigate your risks and limit exposure.
