Finding the Right Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) Solution
The common method of authenticating uses a single factor: a password. That approach is fraught with security problems, including the fact that users will generally use simple passwords that are easy for them to remember (and easy for bad actors to guess). Using a second factor to make access to critical network and data assets more difficult for bad actors to get is now essential. Two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides much more secure access than is possible with a single factor. How can you add a layer of security to every login?
Why is Healthcare a Prime Target for Ransomware Attacks?
Recent cyberattacks have targeted hospitals, crippling their systems for weeks and disrupting patient care. Ransomware attacks have disrupted hospital systems for periods lasting as long as several weeks, and the average ransom demand from healthcare organizations is now $4.6 million.
Why are healthcare organizations being targeted by ransomware attacks?
Identity-Bound Biometrics: What is IBB?
Identity Bound Biometrics (IBB) is a powerful form of MFA that combats breaches using biometrics, such as palm and fingerprint scans, with the highest levels of integrity, security, availability, and accuracy. IBB ensures that users signing into a cloud-based application or mobile device are who they say they are. It offers the most secure and convenient authentication methods, making it easy to include biometrics as a key method and part to any enterprise MFA strategy.
The Rise of Zero Trust Architecture
Why is there a need or interest in Zero Trust? In short, it's because the network perimeter that was more or less defensible when everything was behind a corporate firewall just doesn't exist anymore. Zero Trust is what its name implies: no user, device, asset, nor resource is implicitly trusted, but instead must be authenticated and approved each time it attempts to access a network, cloud service, data repository and other resources.
