Cybersecurity is a big deal for UK businesses right now. With threats getting smarter, passwords aren’t enough to keep your data safe anymore or the only way to prove it's really you trying to sign in to that device.
This document outlines the importance of Multifactor Authentication (MFA2) as a fundamental security measure for UK businesses of all sizes and why it is essential to provide a second layer.
