According to a 2023 report from Verizon, over 80% of hacking-related data breaches are caused by compromised passwords. Both 2FA and SSO tackle this key issue.
Two Factor Authentication allows user accounts to be linked to their mobile phone, enabling them to verify their log-in attempt with an SMS verification code. This ensures no one can compromise a user’s details and gain free rein over your data.
Single sign on (SSO) enables users to access multiple corporate services using just one set of securely authenticated credentials. A single access point is safer than dozens of unique credentials. If we think of every log-in throughout the day as an access point, reducing that to the bare minimum greatly limits cybercriminals’ opportunities to breach your data.
Leandro Wade, CTO and Co-Founder said: “We are very pleased to be Cyber Essential Plus certified. This reinforces our pursuit of ensuring all our data is as secure as possible. We take online security seriously and this certification demonstrates our commitment, hopefully in turn enhancing our reputation with customers and stakeholders.”
