WatchGuard is targeting the SMB sector with cloud-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) to meet demand for less password-heavy systems.
“We know that a massive portion of data breaches involve lost credentials, and since cyber criminals target organisations of any size, MFA is now a prerequisite for all businesses,” said Alex Cagnoni, Director of Authentication at WatchGuard.
“In the absence of MFA, cyber criminals can utilise a variety of techniques to acquire usernames and passwords, such as spear phishing, social engineering and buying stolen credentials on the dark web, to gain network access and steal company and customer data."
