Many leaders realize it and some have elected to investigate and subscribe to cybersecurity/ransomware insurance. However, before any insurance company will cover you, they need to have assurances. They each have their own checklist of requirements. Those requirements are, as you may have guessed, cybersecurity technology related (in addition to people, policies, and procedures). Undoubtedly, MFA is on every one of those checklists. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is also a variant of MFA.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Multi-Factor Authentication is an important identity management and access control measure requiring users to verify their identity even after the proper credentials have been entered. This extra verification is done through a second device or other method, typically via smartphone, after attempting to login to company apps and resources.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">There are quite a few options and ways to implement MFA and other identity &amp; access management (IAM). Rather than having IT try and figure out the best solution, software, and methods to set up MFA properly on your own, consider a seasoned expert service provider (and let IT continue to do what they do best).&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Such services are sometimes referred to as IDaaS, Identity as a Service, and these services can manage user identities across simple, and the most complex, interconnected environments protecting critical data and applications no matter where they reside– public, private, hyper cloud, hosted, on-premises; here or on the other side of the world.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Identity as a Service (IDaaS) is ideal for organizations wrestling with making network access easy for staff, without compromising security.
