Multi Factor Authentication Services
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is a relatively painless way to add extra security and meet compliance requirements while still ensuring employees maintain the access they need to remain productive. However, properly configuring, implementing, and integrating MFA across all core business platforms aligned to specific business requirements can sometimes prove a challenge. Our Multi Factor Authentication services are here to help.
What is Multi Factor Authentication?
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security layer that requires multiple authentication methods in order to better secure access to websites, applications, and user data.
MFA is often applied to accounts that store sensitive user data such as personally identification, financial, or other private data requiring additional layers of security.
Typically, MFA requires the user to present two forms of authentication such as a username, time passwords, thumbprint, push notifications or SMS code sent to another device, OATH hardware tokens, or email confirmation in order to be able to access the account.
How MFA Is Implemented
On the surface, MFA services seem simple to implement. However, there are common pitfalls that companies run into when rolling out without a proven strategy.
To start, decide which platforms your company wants to protect with MFA and which form of authentication your team will leverage. A mobile app, such as Microsoft Authenticator or Duo Security, is a proven way for companies to generate security keys and act as a trusted form of authentication.
Build documentation to guide users on how to implement MFA on their devices. Consider the impact for new hires and adjust onboarding processes to include setting up an authentication method if needed.

Businesses can look to apply multi-factor authentication services on specific apps – or across their core platforms such as Azure AD – which will then require users to regularly supply a secure authentication to maintain access to email, file storage, and communication.
Risk Based Authentication
If you are looking to secure elements outside of office specific control such as cloud based apps, mobile device, and other potential threat vectors – MFA solutions are a good starting point.
Two Factor Authentication (2FA) Vs. Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)
There are many secure authentication solutions and the terminology around them can get a bit tricky to decipher which is the best for your business.
A Two Factor Authentication Solution – or 2FA – leverages just two methods of authentication such as a password combined with a SMS code. Whereas MFA solutions are more varied and can rely on a wider range of authentication methods.

Scalable Solution
With proper documentation and training, MFA is a security solution that scales with your business as you onboard new users.
