If you use Microsoft 365 products and you don’t have MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) enabled in your organization yet, you are at heightened risk of user accounts getting compromised.
I can’t say this more plainly – if you do not have MFA in place and a cybersecurity incident hasn’t happened to you yet, it is only a matter of time before you fall victim.
MFA increases the security of user logins for cloud services beyond only using a password. With MFA for Microsoft 365 users are required to take a second step to sign in. This step comes after the user has correctly entered their password and can either come in the form of a text message or an app notification on their phone.
The majority of today’s data breaches are a result of compromised credentials. We strongly urge our partners to take action now to implement MFA to protect yourself and your customers.
For any further questions about protecting your data and/or enabling MFA for Microsoft 365, please reach out to your Business Consultant at consulting@networksplus.com or Technical Support team at support@networksplus.com.
