To combat growing cyber threats and malicious malware, leading cloud computing solutions provider releases Cetrom Two-Factor Authentication to increase clients’ security measures

VIENNA, Va. – July 13, 2016 – Cetrom, an industry-leading provider of custom cloud solutions that transforms the way SMBs succeed, announces the launch of its own multi-factor authentication solution, Cetrom Two-Factor Authentication (Cetrom 2FA). Cetrom 2FA is a security process that requires users to satisfy two levels of identification prior to accessing programs, servers or desktops. The solution will help its clients in the CPA and accounting, association and nonprofit, travel management and other industries counter cybersecurity threats.

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 login having 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 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.

Christopher Stark, president and CEO, Cetrom, said, “We are continuously updating our security measures and developing solutions to not only meet our client base’s security needs, but also meet evolving cybersecurity threats. Since cybersecurity threats are becoming more commonplace, it’s important for us to stay ahead of the curve and be proactive to ensure our clients’ vital data and applications remain safe and secure from spyware, malware and ransomware attacks. Cetrom 2FA will provide our customers with an additional level of protection.”
