Multi-factor authentication is
now an essential for any modern business
About 1 in 5 people consistently use weak or shared passwords…
How many of them work in your organization?
Given that it takes just one stolen password to compromise your network, you have to ask yourself, how likely is it that one or more of your employees are mishandling their passwords?
Even more alarming, the costs associated with a breach can reach millions of dollars with direct fines, investigation and remediation expenses as well as indirect expenses from lost customers and low employee productivity.
What Is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of logon verification that adds a layer of security beyond just a simple username and password. It prevents unauthorized access that can result from lost or stolen passwords, while enabling verified users to easily access their accounts and information.
Something you know
(password, PIN)
Something you have
(token, mobile phone)
Something you are
(fingerprint, face)
MFA factors:
Your password
Approval on your mobile authenticator
Correct mobile phone DNA
A fingerprint to access
(with certain phone models)
Passwords are no longer enough. Don't let one employee's weak password compromise your company's assets and information.
You’re only one weak password away from a breach…
…. And even your “complicated” passwords can be cracked
Passwords are easy to hack and provide only one line of defense. If a hacker can steal just one employee’s password, they can usually access your entire net-work. Once in, they can do whatever they want. This usually means spreading malware or stealing, modifying, or deleting critical information.
Here’s a simplified overview showing how a hacker steals your password
Gather Information
(Fingerprinting and/or social engineering)
Access Your Account

Move Around the System
to identity vulnerabilities
Gain Admin Access
(Privilege escalation)
Execute Attack
Since passwords aren’t enough, what is?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of verification that adds a security layer to logins beyond just a simple username and password. It helps ensure that hackers cannot access your systems even if one of your employee’s passwords becomes compromised.

Session 2: The case for tightening your network security through Multi-Factor Authentication
Not All MFA Methods are Created Equal
Let us help you to find the MFA solution that works best for your organization!
MFA is No Longer Just for Large Enterprises
The majority of IT decision-makers at sub-1,000 employee companies have password policies and training in place, more than three-fourths believe their employees still engage in poor security behaviors. Also, nearly all respondents agree that a technology solution is needed to augment passwords.
The key is offering an MFA solution that’s affordable, and easy to deploy and manage, to address the perceived difficulties that keep businesses owners and IT decision-makers from embracing MFA.
Ultimately, modern MFA is no longer an optional precaution; it is a business requirement.
Cloud-Based MFA Benefits Far Outweigh the Costs
Mitigate the risk of a breach resulting from a stolen password by adopting multi-factor authentication (MFA). Cloud-based MFA requires no expenses for additional infrastructure, hardware tokens, software support and maintenance.
