A robust security system is built on the user’s permissions and two-factor authentication. They help reduce the risk of malicious insider activities or accidental data breaches and ensure regulatory compliance.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires users to input credentials from two different categories to log into an account. This could be something the user knows (passwords PIN codes, passwords, security questions) or something they own (one-time verification code that is sent to their mobile or an authenticator program) or something they ARE (fingerprints or a face scan, or retinal scan).
2FA is often a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication, which has more than two components. MFA is a requirement in certain industries, such as healthcare, ecommerce, and banking (due to HIPAA regulations). The COVID-19 epidemic has also heightened the urgency of security for companies that require two-factor authentication.
Enterprises are living things and their security infrastructures are constantly changing. Users have roles that change and hardware capabilities are evolving, and complex systems are now accessible to users. It is crucial to regularly examine the two-factor authentication strategies at regular intervals to ensure that they keep up with these changes. One method to do this is through adaptive authentication which is a type of context authentication that will trigger policies based on how, when and where a login request is received. Duo offers a central administrator dashboard which lets you easily monitor and manage these types of policies.
