Though most employees are not trying to compromise security, you should consider what you can reasonably expect from them given the proliferation of online accounts requiring passwords. Commonly, 3-6% of employees will use weak passwords and even share them between accounts. These kinds of insecure password practices result in leaked passwords, which are exploited in 81% of cyberattacks worldwide, and 61% of all attacks target businesses with less than 1,000 employees.
Therefore, you can no longer rely on just a password.
To avoid becoming a victim, you need additional proof of identity beyond a simple user name and password; such as is made possible with WatchGuard’s AuthPoint service. AuthPoint delivers multi-factor authentication (MFA) safeguards on an easy-to-use Cloud platform for powerful security with low total cost of ownership. AuthPoint enables:
