Multi-Factor Authentication

Turn to the solution that can effectively block all automated attacks! 

Don’t believe us? Google and Microsoft agree.

Both tech giants have separately gone on the record to talk about the benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), stating that their research demonstrated that MFA can block over 99 percent of many attacks. Taking this into consideration, implementing MFA into your own access control features is a no-brainer… especially nowadays.

Understanding MFA

Multi-factor authentication (also known as two-factor authentication or 2FA) is an improvement upon the security of the traditional username-password combination.

Under the traditional requirements, a user only needed one thing to access an account: the account’s password. The problem with that was that passwords aren’t necessarily the best way to add security, especially when paired with the bad habits of most users. Length and complexity requirements meant that the password was more likely to be forgotten, so people would write it down as a reminder or come up with something that they (and anyone else) could guess easily. Worse, these passwords would then be reused for different accounts, exacerbating the security issue.

Multi-factor authentication helps fix that.

By supplementing the username-password combination with an additional requirement (one that the user would have a difficult time sharing) any account protected by MFA becomes substantially more secure.

How Multi-Factor Authentication Works

Let’s say that Mary Q. User is looking to access her company’s online storage solution. Her login process begins as it always has: she enters in her username and her password.

Mary is then prompted to provide a brief access code that is only delivered to her mobile device via a preselected application. Opening the app, Mary enters the code and is permitted access. Only by using this code can she get into the company’s solutions.

MFA cuts down on the chance of unwanted access to your business’ solutions.

Phishing Simulation

If a Cybercriminal’s Gone Phishin’, Would Your Employees Take the Bait?

Use Phishing Simulation & Awareness Training to reduce your employees’ risk from phishing and other cyberattacks.

66% of cybercriminals rank email phishing as their attack vector of choice. 

Phishing is a serious threat to businesses.
Phishing has become the #1 attack method of choice for cybercriminals due to its high success rate. 

It’s simple enough to explain how to avoid email spam and other obvious attack vectors - but what if the attack looks like a message that they’d regularly expect from their contacts?

End users are the largest, most vulnerable target in most businesses. Your employees need to know how to spot a phishing attempt in order to avoid falling for one, and you need to know that they’re able to do so. We can help by phishing them for you.

How we can help.
According to the Ponemon Institute, organizations see a 64% improvement in phishing click rates with a security training program.

We’ll run quarterly phishing tests on your employees to help them practice spotting potential threats. Not only will they be informed of any mistakes they make, you will be told who among your organization needs additional education on the basics of phishing attacks.

Let us know if you’re ready to evaluate your employees.

Dark Web Monitoring

The Dark Web is No Place For Your Company’s Sensitive Data.

The Internet has Layers, One of Which Being the Dark Web.

When you visit the Internet, you are more than likely sticking to the pages that can be accessed by typing an address into your browser, or by clicking on a link in a search result. This is what is known as the surface web, and contains things like:

• Websites
• Reference materials
• Online stores
• Social media sites
• Search engines
• Blogs

You’ve probably also used something called the Deep Web, which is where all those pages that a search engine won’t bring up are kept. This includes online content that a search engine cannot access, but a user can with the right information, like:

• Online banking
• Email accounts
• Paid web services
• Medical records
• Restricted pages
• Internal networks

Even deeper than that is the Dark Web, an anonymous, hidden part of the Internet. Only accessible via specialized browsers, this impersonal expanse is far, far bigger than the Internet you are familiar with. Due to this, it has become a favorite place for criminals to exchange their ill-gotten goods in relative safety… especially data and information they have stolen from breached companies or services online.

Find Out if Your Data Has Been Stolen with a Complimentary Dark Web Scan!

Don’t assume that your business is “too small to be targeted”... cybercriminals know that they can be more successful targeting lots of small businesses than they can targeting one large one.

Where Does the Data on the Dark Web Come From?

As a cybercriminal infiltrates these businesses and services and gains access to their systems, they are able to steal many different kinds of valuable information (like user account credentials, credit card information, and many others) for them to sell to whomever they please. To buy and sell this information, these criminals turn to the anonymity of the Dark Web, which means that your data, your employees’ data, or your business’ data could be on the Dark Web for the taking.

Dark Web Monitoring Helps You Identify that You’ve Been Breached.

When it comes to cybercrime, knowledge is power. That’s why we combine our assets, human intelligence and artificial intelligence, into a unified effort to track down any instance of your data on the Dark Web with our scanning tools. If one of your users was caught in a breach, they can be identified and the issues mitigated from that point on. Through this service, you can be alerted if any of the information under your care is available on the Dark Web, allowing you to take steps to mitigate their use in further criminal endeavors.
