A solid security infrastructure is based on user permissions and two-factor authentication. They lower the risk of malicious insider activities or accidental data breaches, and also ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires users to enter credentials from two distinct categories to be able to log into an account. It could be something the user knows (passwords, PIN codes or security questions) or something they have (one-time verification code sent to their phone or an authenticator app) or something they have (fingerprints or a face scan, or retinal scan).
Often, 2FA is a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which includes numerous more components than just two. MFA is a common requirement in certain industries, such as healthcare (because of strict HIPAA regulations), ecommerce and banking. The COVID-19 virus pandemic has also raised the importance of security for companies that require two-factor authentication.
Enterprises are living organisms and their security infrastructures keep changing. New access points are created daily, users change roles as well as hardware capabilities change and complex systems reach the hands of users every day. It’s important to regularly reevaluate your two-factor authentication process regularly to make sure that it can keep up with the changes. The adaptive authentication method is one way to accomplish this. It is a form of contextual authentication that creates policies based on time, location and when a login request is received. Duo provides a central administrator dashboard which lets you easily monitor and set these types of policies.
