User Permissions and Two Factor Authentication

Permissions for users and two factor authentication are a critical component of a secure security system. They reduce the likelihood that malicious insiders will take action, limit the impact on data breaches and assist in ensuring that you adhere to regulatory requirements.

Two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as two-factor authentication and requires users to supply credentials in different categories: something they’ve learned (passwords and PIN codes) or have (a one-time code that is sent to their phone, or an authenticator app) or something they’re. Passwords by themselves are not sufficient security against hacking techniques – they are easily stolen, given to the incorrect people, and easier to compromise via attacks like phishing as well as on-path attacks or brute force attacks.

It is also vital to use 2FA for accounts that are highly sensitive for online banking, such as, tax filing websites and email, social media and cloud storage services. A lot of these services are offered without 2FA, however making it available for the most sensitive and vital ones adds a security layer that is difficult to defeat.

To ensure that 2FA is effective security professionals need to regularly reevaluate their strategy to account for new threats. This will also enhance the user experience. Some examples of these are phishing attacks that deceive users into sharing their 2FA credentials or “push bombing,” which overwhelms users with multiple authentication requests, leading users to knowingly approve legitimate ones due to MFA fatigue. These and other issues require a constantly evolving security solution that offers an overview of user logins to identify anomalies in real time.
