Imagine how much damage can be done by someone who intercepts your, or one of your employees’, login information. Before you realize what happened, your company’s sensitive data may already be publicly available on the Internet, not only exposing you to huge financial losses, but also to a bad reputation and loss of customer trust. The situation is as likely as the possibility of your password being leaked. This is one of many viable reasons to be interested in the added security of MFA authentication.

Multi-factor authentication forces us to use at least two-step login verification (2FA). How? You can approve the login, for example. via one-time code in sms, push notification, biometrics, hardware key and more. MFA combines several of the available components to provide secure logins to systems. In the case of Microsoft services, a single sign-on will give you secure access to all your suite’s applications.

MFA is nothing more than an additional layer of security, which is still possible to break, but it is definitely a more complicated process. The probability of gaining unauthorized access to accounts secured in this way, is as much as 99.9% lower.

MFA is worth using not only in a business environment. We recommend enabling multi-factor authentication wherever you store your sensitive data and confidential information.
