1) Does your business require MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) for all user accounts with access to services like Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspaces and remote access VPN?

Excellent!

Explanation: When an account is protected by multi-factor authentication, secondary verification is required to log in. The most common secondary verification method is a notification sent to your phone via a code or pop-up message. You simply confirm that it is, in fact, you that is trying to log in. Even if a third-party attacker knows your username and password, MFA prevents them from logging in. For clarity, MFA is typically presented when a login attempt is made from a new device or untrusted location. To keep your business safe, MFA must in place for all accounts.

Did you know: Did you know: In 2019 alone, Microsoft observed over 300 million fraudulent sign-in attempts. MFA stopped over 99.9% of them.

Endpoint Security

2) Does your business use a centrally monitored Endpoint Security service on all computers and servers to protect against ransomware, malware, and viruses?

Excellent!

Explanation: The modern term for “antivirus” is Endpoint Security. While Endpoint Security software does include an antivirus, it also includes new tools that protect against modern threats like ransomware and malware. Businesses must ensure all computers and servers are thoroughly protected with an appropriate monitored Endpoint Security service. Knowing when attacks or incidents occur allows your team to ensure the threat is properly eliminated. Infections often require clean-up and extra work to properly eliminate the threat. Knowing when they happen is critical.

Did you know: There are approximately 560,000 new malware detected daily and businesses with one hundred or fewer employees are three times as likely to face ransomware attacks as large corporations.
