In today’s digitally driven world, multi-factor authentication is one of the most critical, yet easy to do, security measures an organization can put in place.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires an additional step(s) for someone to take, in order to “make sure” that individual is, in fact, that individual…and not a “bot” or an individual looking to access information they are not allowed to.
It may sound “scary,” but multi-factor authentication comes in many forms, such as a physical key, a badge, an application, or a verification code.
Multi-factor authentication should be in place anytime access is needed to sensitive information both at work and at home. One extra second to confirm the user is real makes simple cyber attacks far more difficult to execute.
Having MFA in between every device, application, or system, and the person authorized to access them is extremely important
For businesses that lack the resources to implement security controls, this can be challenging in terms of developing new access control policies, as well as culture change in the organization.
With Cuick Trac, MFA is in place both between the authorized users and when accessing CUI within the enclave.
Since these security controls are in place by default in our pre-configuration, the user doesn’t have to worry about whether it’s “on” or not, while only needing to authenticate one time (usually via their smartphone) when logging in to the Cuick Trac enclave.
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) ensures authorized users of your Cuick Trac enclave are who they say they are at every access attempt and regularly reaffirms their trustworthiness.
See how we can secure your CUI in less time, with less effort, and more features than any other DFARS compliance products in the market.
Cuick Trac, a solution by Beryllium InfoSec, is a privately hosted, managed, & secure CUI enclave for organizations who need to comply with NIST 800-171 & CMMC 2.0, Level 2.
