The Steep Price of Poor Security

Every day, cyberattacks become more sophisticated as shrewd cybercriminals exploit inadequate, out-of-date security protocols and standards to gain access to sensitive data and accounts at an alarming pace. Increased security measures are not simply advised; they are essential, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) of which 43% of all cyber attacks are aimed at. Now more than ever SMB's are suffering the financial, reputational, and operational repercussions of cyber attacks.

Our solutions work by combining something you know (a password), with something you have (a smart card or token), or something you are (a biometric). This process significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and can prevent 99.9% of account compromise attacks, according to research by Microsoft.

MFA as an SMB Solution: The Benefits

MFA can serve as the cornerstone of a robust cybersecurity program for businesses of all sizes, particularly for small and medium businesses with unique challenges and conditions. Implementing MFA allows organizations to increase security and convenience in a variety of ways, such as the following:

Go Passwordless 

Between both private and professional lives, the average person must remember over 100 passwords. Many people use the same password across various accounts, from their personal bank accounts to their work network log-ins, in an effort to simplify their lives. Sadly, this also makes it simpler for anyone who intends to steal sensitive information. Additionally, forgetting passwords necessitates their reset, which demands time and resources. With MFA, you can do away with the need for passwords, keep your data secure, and improve user experience.

Improve Remote Work Safety

The modern workforce works from anywhere, at any time. Employees now access networks and apps more frequently than ever before using personal and work devices, sometimes through less secure internet connections. Even the most knowledgeable cybersecurity team cannot always control where users log in, so the next best thing is to implement security measures that make it safer regardless of where employees are.

Thwart Bad Actors

Multi-factor authentication makes it more difficult for potential cybercriminals to steal company data by gaining access to critical software and hardware, including network devices. MFA seals weak entry points in unsecured systems and can prevent 99.9% of account compromise attacks, according to research by Microsoft.
