The Cybersafe Second – Q&A #1

Q: What is MFA?

A: MFA stands for multi-factor authentication, which is a security system that requires multiple credentials to verify a user’s identity.

Potential credentials may include a security question, a pin number from the user’s smartphone, a fingerprint, or facial recognition. In some cases, implementing MFA reduces risk by over 90%.

Don't get scared.

Implementing multi-factor authentication can provide an extra layer of security with minimal effort and expense. Our Security Policy Development can help you put this and other systems in place to protect your endpoints.
