Passwords alone are no longer enough to protect business systems. Multi-Factor Authentication adds an additional layer of security that verifies a user’s identity before access is granted, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Genesis Network Group helps New Jersey businesses implement Multi-Factor Authentication solutions that are simple to use and highly effective.
What Is Multi-Factor Authentication?
Multi-Factor Authentication, often referred to as two factor authentication, requires users to verify their identity using more than just a username and password. This extra step ensures that even if credentials are compromised, accounts remain protected.
The first factor is something the user knows, such as a password. The second factor is something the user has or receives, making it much more difficult for attackers to gain access.
Why Multi-Factor Authentication Matters
Stolen or reused passwords are a leading cause of security breaches. Multi-Factor Authentication greatly reduces this risk by requiring additional verification that attackers do not have access to.
By adding this layer of protection, businesses can better secure email, cloud applications, remote access, and sensitive systems.
Common Authentication Methods
Text or Email Code
A temporary verification code is sent to the user’s registered phone number or email address.
Phone Call Verification
An automated call is placed to the registered phone number to confirm identity.
Push Notification Approval
A secure notification is sent to a trusted device, allowing the user to approve or deny the login attempt.
