Passwords Aren’t Enough:
Introduction to Multifactor Authentication
(Commonly known as MFA or 2FA)
Posted on: January 23rd, 2025
Topp IT Services is noticing an increasing threat to our clients who do not have MFA enabled on their accounts. Our priority is to ensure a safe and secure working environment for you through MFA/2FA.
What is MFA / 2FA?
MFA adds an additional layer of security to access your accounts.
Something you know: Your Password
Something you have: App that generates a code or a text to your cell phone with a code.
The Growing Threat: Phishing Attacks
99.9% of compromised accounts don’t have MFA
Please be aware that phishing attempts are increasing. Attackers are becoming more skilled at crafting convincing emails and messages in order to deceive you into disclosing personal information or login credentials.
2FA can help stop phishing in its tracks!
“The [US] Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) found that MFA makes users 99% less likely to be hacked, a powerful reason to make the switch”
