A secure security infrastructure is built on the user’s permissions and two-factor authentication. They reduce the risk of accidental or malicious insider activities, limit the impact of data breaches, and ensure compliance with regulations.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires a user to input credentials from two different categories in order to log into an account. This could include something that the user is familiar with (password or PIN code, security question) or something they own (one-time verification passcode that is sent to their mobile or an authenticator app) or something they have (fingerprint facial, face, retinal scan).
Most often, 2FA is a subset of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which includes more than two. MFA is a requirement in certain industries like healthcare banking, ecommerce, and healthcare (due to HIPAA regulations). The COVID-19 virus has created a new urgency for organizations requiring two-factor authentication for remote workers.
Enterprises are living things and their security infrastructures are always evolving. Users have roles that change, hardware capabilities are evolving and complex systems are now being used by users. It’s crucial to constantly review your two-factor authentication method regularly to ensure that it can keep up with the changes. Adaptive authentication is one method to achieve this. It’s a type of contextual authentication that will trigger policies based on the date, time and location at which the login request is received. Duo provides an administrator dashboard that allows you to easily monitor and set these types of policies.
