Dual Factor Authentication
As any business owner knows, the internet is not a place where you want sensitive information floating around. Cyber-attacks are on the rise – and your business is at risk if the proper security isn’t put into place.
What is Dual Factor Authentication?
Dual Factor Authentication, also called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), is an extra step inserted into the log-in procedure, such as a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan, that helps verify your identity and safeguard against cybercriminals. Because the criminal needs more than just your username and password credentials, 2FA provides an additional level of protection against hackers.
Firewalls and Dual Factor Authentication
Firewall subscriptions provide the security, control, and visibility your business needs to maintain an effective cybersecurity strategy. American Lazer’s SonicWall firewall subscriptions handle your unique security demands.
But safety does not stop there. Keeping your firewall subscription active will ensure real-time protection. If your subscription has lapsed, then you do not have protection from cyber threats!

Another way to ensure a high level of security is to enable two-factor authentication. Passwords may be intercepted, and usernames can be stolen and that’s when two-factor authentication comes in handy. It serves as an extra safeguard.
Fortify the security of your devices and accounts by following these two important guidelines:
1. Make sure your firewall subscription is up to date
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Firewall subscriptions are only one aspect of the overall security picture. If your firewall subscription has not been renewed, your computer systems will not be able to effectively isolate external dangers and security patch updates will not be available. Additionally, Two-Factor Authentication will provide another layer of safety. A single ransomware attack might cost thousands of dollars in lost productivity and exposure to your customer and employee data.
