Chad Quarles, CISO/Security Advisor, was interviewed for a series of blog posts from PSA Insurance & Financial Services about basic cybersecurity best practices for small and mid-size businesses. The first installment in the series discusses multi-factor authentication (MFA). Here is an excerpt from the piece:
“MFA is quickly becoming “table stakes” for businesses that are serious about protecting their customers’ and employees’ sensitive information. MFA is particularly critical for protecting remote access technologies, Software as a Service (SaaS) applications that are accessible from the Internet, and privileged administrative user accounts. Benefits of using MFA for your business include:
- Limiting the impact of password breaches
- Reducing vulnerability to credential phishing
- Staying compliant with various regulatory requirements
- Demonstrating to customers, employees and stakeholders that your business takes information security seriously”
