Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting businesses to get access to company information through the practice of phishing.
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) and LastPass Password Managers are complimentary security measures to mitigate the risk ofcredentials being stolen. MFA is also sometimes referred to as Two Step Verification (2SV) or Two Factor Authentication (2FA).
There are many password managers available. ECU has selected LastPass as it is currently the industry standard.
Not only financial institutions are using MFA. Also google, twitter and facebook advise users to use strong passwords incombination with MFA.
