Cyber Security Awareness Month - Part Two: Protect Your Accounts with Strong Passphrases & MFA

Cybercriminals are constantly targeting email accounts and business systems. Even strong passwords can be compromised through phishing, leaks, or brute-force attacks. Once your password is stolen, your sensitive data and company systems are at risk.
What Is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
MFA adds a critical extra layer of security. When you log in, you’ll need your password and a second factor-like a a fingerprint, or a prompt from an authenticator app. This makes it much harder for attackers to access your account, even if they have your password.

Benefits of MFA
- Prevents 99.9% of automated cyber attacks
- Drastically reduces account takeovers and fraud
- Helps meet compliance requirements
- Protects sensitive data and our company’s reputation
Best Practices
- Use unique, strong pass-phrases for every account
- Enable MFA wherever possible, especially for email, financial, and business systems
- Stay alert for phishing attempts and never share your MFA codes or passwords
- Keep your devices and security apps up to date

Take Action! Check your passphrase security and enable MFA on 3rd party and personal accounts today!
