Multi-Factor Authentication
Every computer user has struggled with passwords, and cybersecurity experts will tell you that a simple user ID and password no longer provides adequate protection for your organization’s data. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an additional level of security and provides protection even if your password has been stolen. Since modern MFA solutions are cloud-based and use mobile devices rather than expensive tokens, they provide greatly enhanced security at an affordable price.
