About this talk

Multi-factor authentication is a technological solution that aims to inhibit cyberattacks. In practice, this security strategy uses at least two types of mechanisms to identify an individual trying to access a certain system online. The methods can involve knowledge factors, such as passwords; possession factors, such as totems; or inheritance factors, including fingerprint and facial recognition. Multi-factor authentication is an intelligent solution that protects from cyberattacks to individuals and businesses. This strategy is especially important these days, considering the significant increase in hacking attempts. A survey done by Kaspersky, an organization specializing in security, and published on CNN Brasil‘s website, points to alarming numbers. According to the survey, in 2020, there was a 330% increase in cyberattack attempts. Altogether, more than 370 million corporate systems were hacked. With the adoption of remote work by most companies during the covid-19 pandemic, their systems became more vulnerable to hacking. This has increased the need for technologies such as multi-factor authentication, as discussed in one of the topics below. In this cyber notes cast, we explain what this feature is, its importance, and how to implement it, among other information. To make it easier for you to understand, it is divided into the following topics: What is Multi-factor Authentication? How Important is Multi-factor Authentication? Are Companies Required to Use This Feature? Two-factor Authentication and Multi-factor Authentication: What is the Difference? Are Complex Passwords as Effective as MFA? Digital Authentication Types Methods Used in Attempts to Break MFA Security Multi-factor Authentication and Remote Work
