Since cybersecurity threats are becoming more prevalent, it’s important for us to stay ahead of the curve to ensure our clients’ vital data and applications remain safe and secure from spyware, malware, and ransomware attacks. Cetrom proactively updates its security measures and develops solutions to meet our client base’s evolving security needs.
To help combat those threats, Cetrom provides Two-Factor Authentication (Cetrom2FA™) for its users. This security process requires users to satisfy two levels of identification prior to accessing programs, servers, or desktops, greatly reducing the risk of compromised credentials and unauthorized access to data.
Cetrom developed Cetrom2FA™ to help protect client data from hackers actively working to steal important information. It requires two forms of authentication in order to access critical data and applications hosted in the cloud. For example, a user must log in with a strong username and password combination and a unique code sent to their smartphone via SMS text, or they must identify a specific image they selected.
Cetrom2FA™ is a safer login alternative and will provide clients with the following benefits:
- Elimination of a single point of access to programs, servers, or desktops.
- Secure access to data and applications.
- Decreased risk of compromised login credentials.
- Instant notification of suspicious activity related to authentication requests.
Notably, the frequency and intensity of cyber-attacks on financial institutions have increased exponentially in the past 12 months. The financial losses from cyber-attacks have surpassed $4.5M per incident. Organizations need to increase cyber vigilance, share threat information, and work to detect breaches more quickly. Develop a strong disaster recovery plan and select a proactive IT provider with experience combating these threats.
