A robust security system is based on the user’s permissions and two-factor authentication. They lower the risk of insider threats or accidental data breaches, and also ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Two factor authentication (2FA) is a procedure that requires a user to enter a credential from two categories in order to log in to an account. This could be something that the user is familiar with (passwords PIN codes, passwords security questions) or something they have (one-time verification code sent to their mobile, or an authenticator application) or something they actually possess (fingerprints face, fingerprints, or retinal scan).
2FA is usually a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication that has more than two factors. MFA is usually a requirement in certain industries, for example healthcare (because of the strict HIPAA regulations), ecommerce and banking. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of security for companies that require two-factor authentication.
Enterprises are living beings and their security infrastructures are always evolving. Users shift roles, hardware capabilities are evolving, and complex systems are in the hands of users. It’s crucial to constantly review your two-factor authentication process at scheduled intervals to ensure that it can keep up with the changes. Adaptive authentication is one method to accomplish this. It is a form of contextual authentication, which triggers policies depending on the time, place and how the login request is received. Duo provides a central administrator dashboard which lets you easily monitor and set these types of policies.
