Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) identifies an online user by validating two or more claims presented by the user, from different categories of validation. The theory behind MFA is that the combined factors of validation are stronger than their individual parts. There is no single impenetrable authentication factor.

The humble password is no longer good enough for the world we live in today. If there are no backup checks, once a password has been uncovered, a malicious party can login and do as they please.

Something the user IS

Something the user KNOWS

Why you need Multi-Factor Authentication

Compliance Regulations

If your business is subject to compliance regulations you may find MFA is a way to satisfy various data protection criteria.

A combination of password and SMS may not be deemed secure enough for your use-case, adding in fingerprint recognition may be required to meet security compliance.

Simplifying the Login Process

Single sign-on with MFA can speed up the login process. For example, a user of the Office suite will need to login via MFA for their first use of an app on their device. From there on they will have instant access to all the apps covered by the single-sign on software, so all the Office apps in this example.

Location Restrictions

Multi-Factor Authentication can be set to allow or limit login access based on a user’s location. If employees use their own devices or frequently work outside the office this puts the company data at risk from another angle – physical theft. MFA can be used to recognise when a user is seeking access from an unknown location and require an extra level of security to validate this is a genuine login attempt.

How MFA can prevent a phishing attack

Your organisation’s susceptibility to being phished is heavily dependent on your users’ technical awareness. Staff awareness is a great way to minimise phishing success but it only goes so far – sometimes you just need a more fool proof method. This is where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) comes into its own.

If you’ve got Microsoft 365, MFA is provided free of charge via Azure, you just need to activate it for every user. While it won’t stop you receiving phishing attempts, it can certainly help your users succumb to them, let’s take a look at how…
