A robust security infrastructure is built on the user’s permissions and two-factor authentication. They reduce the risk of malicious or accidental insider activity, reduce the impact of data breaches and help ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires users to enter credentials from two distinct categories in order to log into an account. This could include something the user is aware of (password, PIN code, security question) or something they already have (one-time verification passcode that is sent to their phone or authenticator app) or something they’re (fingerprint or face scan).
Most often, 2FA is a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which includes many more elements than two. MFA is a requirement for certain industries such as healthcare as well as e-commerce and banking (due to HIPAA regulations). The COVID-19 epidemic has also raised the importance of security for companies that require two-factor authentication.
Enterprises are living entities and their security infrastructures are always evolving. Users change roles and capabilities of hardware are changing and complex systems are being used by users. It is essential to periodically review your two-factor authentication plan regularly to make sure that it is able to keep up with the changes. Adaptive authentication is one way to achieve this. It’s a kind of contextual authentication, which triggers policies depending on the time, location and when the login request is handled. Duo provides an administrator dashboard that allows you to easily monitor and set these types of policies.
