A robust security system is built on user permissions and two-factor authentication. They reduce the risk of malicious insider activities or accidental data breaches, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Two factor authentication (2FA) is a method where a user must enter a credential in two categories to log into an account. This could be something that the user knows (passwords PIN codes, passwords and security questions), something they possess (one-time verification code sent to their mobile, or an authenticator application) or something they ARE (fingerprints or a face scan, or retinal scan).
2FA is often a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication that has more than two factors. MFA is a requirement for certain industries like healthcare, ecommerce, and banking (due to HIPAA regulations). The COVID-19 virus has given new urgency to security for businesses that require two-factor authentication for remote workers.
Enterprises are living organisms and their security infrastructures are continuously changing. Users shift roles, hardware capabilities are evolving, and complex systems are now in the hands of users. It’s crucial to constantly review your two-factor authentication strategy at scheduled intervals to make sure that it’s up to date with these changes. Adaptive authentication is a method to achieve this. It’s a type of contextual authentication that activates policies based on time, place and how the login request is handled. Duo offers a central administrator dashboard that allows you to easily set and monitor the policies of these kinds.
