How do you properly protect your account from hackers? A cyber attack can do great damage to your business through data breaches, data deletion and identity fraud. This can greatly damage your customers' trust. How are you going to explain to customers that hackers are contacting and spreading viruses on your customer's behalf when you could have prevented this in seconds with multifactor authentication (MFA) through the Microsoft Authenticator app. Setting it up is only a fraction of the amount of time, energy and expense you spend when you are hacked. Why take this great risk unnecessarily? In this blog post, we tell you everything you need to know about MFA via the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Did you know that passwords are easy to crack? It is only a matter of time until hackers get your password. MFA is easy to use and protects your data effectively. By using multiple login methods, MFA confirms your identity. This prevents hackers from accessing your data when they have your password. This means using other login method(s) besides your password to log in. This could include a code sent to your mobile phone via text message. There are also several authentication apps available that easily generate a code. So with MFA, you reduce the risk of a cyber attack because you are the only one who has the additional login method to log in.
Hackers only need a few pieces of information to damage customer trust, while it has taken you years to build it up. So hackers can have a huge impact on you and your business.
Have hackers gotten hold of your Microsoft 365 account password? Hackers then have the password for both your email and your PC in their hands. They can then change the password and lock you out of your data. They can then demand a lot of money for the new password. The only question is whether you get the right password and whether your files have not been deleted, modified or leaked. Can you use your Microsoft login credentials to log into other accounts? Then hackers have access to many more accounts.
Do hackers possess the login credentials of your business or private social media accounts? If so, hackers have enough data to commit identity fraud. You may also be locked out of these accounts and ransom demanded to gain access.
Are hackers in possession of a copy of your ID? Then they can take out loans, open bank accounts and make purchases in your name. You will notice this when you receive bills for items you did not purchase.
Prevent this kind of annoying situation by properly securing your account in seconds with MFA through the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Don't want to take an unnecessary risk and better protect your files from hackers? You can easily secure your account advanced against hackers. We therefore recommend setting up at least one form of MFA for your Microsoft 365 accounts, social media accounts, business accounts and, for example, a NAS to keep your account secure. Most programs and accounts you use have the option to use MFA through the Microsoft Authenticator app. Want to log in to or with your Microsoft 365 account? If so, you will often get a notification in the Authenticator app asking you to confirm your identity. Are you using the Microsoft Authenticator app for other accounts? Then you must copy the OTP code shown in the app.
Reduce the risk of a cyber attack and keep your business safe. Therefore, it makes sense to set up the Microsoft Authenticator app for all your accounts to provide advanced security.
