A secure infrastructure for security is built around user permissions and two-factor authentication. They can reduce the chance that malicious insiders will act in a way that is less damaging to security breaches and help meet the requirements of regulatory agencies.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires the user to supply credentials from several categories – something they’re familiar with (passwords, PIN codes and security questions) or have (a one-time verification code that is sent to their phone or authenticator app), or something they are (fingerprints or a retinal scan). Passwords are no longer enough to safeguard against hacking techniques. They can be stolen or shared with others, or even compromised via phishing, on-path attacks or brute force attacks etc.

It is also crucial to have 2FA set up for accounts that are sensitive, such as online banking, tax filing websites, email, social media and cloud storage services. Many of these services can be used without 2FA. However making it available on the most sensitive and important ones adds an extra layer of security.

To ensure the efficacy of 2FA security professionals must to review their authentication strategy regularly to ensure they are aware of new threats and enhance the user experience. These include phishing attacks that induce users to share 2FA codes, or «push-bombing» that overwhelms users by requesting multiple authentications. This leads to being unable to approve legitimate logins because of MFA fatigue. These challenges and others require a constantly evolving security solution that provides access to logins of users to identify anomalies in real time.
