Multi Factor Authentication

MFA provides excellent levels of protection against brute force attacks that can often break passwords and allow unauthorised access to your network.

According to research by Microsoft, 99.9% of cyber attacks can be blocked by using multi-factor authentication.

Many Web-based products and services provide MFA, but it often needs enabling. MFA normally requires a user to provide extra authentication either by unique code, using facial recognition, and/ or approving a sign in request on their mobile phone, in addition to entering a password.

MFA is the No. 1 change businesses can make to protect their systems
