A secure security infrastructure is based on the user’s permissions and two-factor authentication. They can reduce the chance of malicious insider attacks or accidental data breaches and help ensure regulatory compliance.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires a user to enter credentials from two different categories to be able to log into an account. It could be something the user knows (passwords, PIN codes security questions), something they possess (one-time verification code that is sent to their mobile, or an authenticator application) or something they are (fingerprints or a face scan, or retinal scan).
Most often, 2FA is a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which has numerous more components than just two. MFA is a requirement in certain industries, such as healthcare as well as e-commerce and banking (due to HIPAA regulations). The COVID-19 virus pandemic has also raised the importance of security in organizations that require two-factor authentication.
Enterprises are living organisms, and their security infrastructures keep changing. New access points are developed daily, users change roles and hardware capabilities are constantly evolving. complex systems reach the hands of everyday users. It is crucial to reevaluate the two-factor authentication strategies regularly to ensure that they are keeping up with these changes. One way to accomplish this is to use adaptive authentication, which is a type of contextual authentication that sets policies based upon how the login request is received. Duo provides a central administrator dashboard that allows you to easily set and monitor the policies of these kinds.
