Multi-Factor Authentication

The usual password selection techniques are not working anymore and now the data and log-in information is more vulnerable than ever. Cybercriminals are getting advanced technologies and creating more sophisticated attacks. A Multi-Factor Authentication will provide layered protection to your passwords. Especially small business IT Support requires this kind of practice as a single cyber-attack can destroy their whole business. In multi-factor authentication the passwords will be linked with more than one protection method such as the employees will be asked to answer one or more questions about their personal life and these questions will be selected randomly and with care to ensure maximum protection. By these practices, if the cybercriminals get access to your passwords then they will be unable to log in because of this two or more factor authentication system.

The traditional antivirus software is not enough to stop these advanced viruses and you will have to keep an experienced and professional team of IT technicians at your workplace all the time to ensure the security of your IT systems. Now the cybercriminals use spam or viruses to attack your systems via email. For example by gaining access to your email they can convince your employees to provide important financial or personal data information and cause a financial or reputational loss. So you need to implement a proper email security system for the management of your email.
