2FA Can Help Organizations Prevent User Accounts from Getting Hacked

Anyone who has ever had their user ID and password hacked knows the problems this can create. Not only does it create problems for the user, but also anyone the user may deal with on a regular basis. The reason their account was hacked is often the result of weak security methods. Organizations can take steps to increase security and protect their users, by looking into different solutions, including 2FA.

Using 2FA Only Adds a Second Log-in Step for Your Users

Using 2FA as an added layer of security protection only requires a second step when users attempt to access applications and resources. They still enter in their user ID and passwords as required. The only difference is supplying a digital certificate, created specifically for the user, before a user is allowed to enter in their user ID and password. Since each certificate is user specific, it cannot be copied, replicated or duplicated without the proper certificate authority system.
