Corporate Information & The Cloud…What’s The Big Deal?

 

Intercepting and getting ahold of your information is too easy now a days – using a two-step verification will help however!  It is easy for people to access two of three requirements to access your information…take a moment to think.

1st, a browser and internet connection, that’s relatively easy; and 2nd, your email address, which for the most part is available online. And the 3rd requirement is your password.

Let me ask….Have you saved your password in a browser cache?  Or how about on a written a sticky note…or shared with others?  So many little places, that most of us forget about or don’t realize.

Unfortunately people do not respect a password as much as they should.  Use a password management tool and/or add another requirement to access information – two-step verification.

Two-step verification requires proving two things – a thing you know, and a thing you have.  The thing you know is your password.  The thing you have is your phone.  Therefore, having the phone and approving the request meets the criteria for the second factor of authentication.

So now what?  EASY!  Get your business set up with a two-step verification process so that ALL INFORMATION that is accessed in the cloud is protected!

To get protection give us a call at 587-355-1566.

Was your Corporate Information meeting up with someone

YOU DON’T KNOW in the Cloud last night?

 

Accessing your information has never been easier – if you are not using two-step verification.  Everyone has access to two of three requirements to access your information.  One, a browser and internet connection; and Two, your email address. The Third requirement is your password.  Your password may have been left in a browser cache, written a sticky note, shared with others, know on the dark webs, etcetera.

Generally people do not respect a password as much as it should be.  Use a password management tool and/or add another requirement to access information – two-step verification.

Two-step verification requires proving two things – a thing you know, and a thing you have.  The thing you know is your password.  The thing you have is your phone.  Therefore, having the phone and approving the request meets the criteria for the second factor of authentication.

So now what?  EASY!  Get your business set up with a two-step verification process so that ALL INFORMATION that is accessed in the cloud is protected!

Basically these hackers are attempting to trick the user into clicking the link within the message….which in turn does some nasty things to their computer such as downloading malware or  obtaining your credentials and more!
