THE BENEFITS OF MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION - GET ON BOARD NOW

Описание: This week the clinic will be discussing Multi Factor Authentication. Many of us are simply incapable of constructing or remembering complex passwords. Many create simple passwords like welcome1 or password1 etc. The Clinic is always looking for ways to protect the few who fall into this category. Multi Factor Authentication is just one of the ways to provide this protection and it makes even the worst of passwords a lot more secure.

WHAT IS MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION?
It's a technology used to ensure that the user is indeed the one who he says he is, by requiring him to provide at least two unique pieces of identification that prove his true identity. The main goal of MFA is to make it more difficult for hackers to gain access to sensitive user information. Even if the attacker manages to get a hold of your password and compromise your account, he still has to pass at least one more barrier before successfully getting into your account.

One of the most popular Multi factor Authentication examples would be swiping a card and entering a PIN at a cash machine.

HOW DOES MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION WORK?
MFA is an authentication method that combines what the user knows, in the form of a password, and what the user has or is. The latter is crucial to the whole concept of MFA security, as it requires the user to input a unique security token or biometric verification. It's where most hacking attempts fall through, as it's highly unlikely that the attacker can obtain a unique security token, let alone any biometric verification data.

BENEFITS OF TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
Increased security
Fraud protection

To sum up, the clinic advises all its members to use MFA whenever you can. It's a useful ally in
protecting your most sensitive data.
