Cetrom 2FA
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 (Cetrom 2FA) for its users, a security process that requires users to satisfy two levels of identification prior to accessing programs, servers, or desktops, greatly reducing the risk of comprised credentials and unauthorized access to data.
Cetrom developed Cetrom 2FA 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 along with a unique code sent to their smartphone via SMS text, or they must identify a specific image they have selected.
Cetrom 2FA 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.
Additionally, Cetrom offers a universal API technology, Cetrom Connect, that can securely connect local and cloud networks - eliminating the need for local onsite servers and greatly reducing the risk of unauthorized network access.
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. Make sure you develop a strong disaster recovery plan and select a proactive IT provider who has experience in combatting these threats.
