Why MFA is Your Digital Guardian. Every day we are logging into our own digital worlds with usernames and passwords. Imagine your digital world as a Castle Fortress – inside your fortress is the Castle Keep - where you keep your most confidential and valuable information. The entrance to the Keep is secured by a locked door (your username and password), but wait…there are no guards. Anyone who has a key or can pick the door lock can get in and plunder your treasure. Where are the guards? That's where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) comes in – the extra layer of protection that proves you are who you say you are. 🔐 Why MFA Matters In a time when cyber breaches have become an everyday occurrence, MFA is not just an option; it's a necessity. It's like having a secret handshake that only you and your trusted devices know. 🛡️ The MFA Effect Most username/password compromise attacks can be blocked by simply turning on MFA. But…. not just any kind of MFA. For example, Microsoft 365 MFA should be enabled in such a way as to prevent a phenomenon known as “MFA Fatigue”. 💡 Make the Switch Turning on MFA is a simple step but may require the assistance of your trusted IT partner. Hope is not a business strategy, and hoping your passwords are secure shouldn’t be for your digital security either! So, take a moment to activate MFA on your accounts. It's a small action you can take now that can prevent a big headache in the future. Here’s the thing – most businesses wouldn’t know: A: What systems they are using that can have MFA enabled (like Microsoft 365 or other cloud apps); and B: How to enable MFA across all their users on these apps. Your task for today – check that MFA is enabled in your digital world. If you don’t know, send an email to your IT helpdesk, and ask them how to enable MFA in your business. Future You will thank you for letting your Digital Guards do their jobs! #MFA #CyberSecurity #ProtectYourData #DigitalGuardian

I get asked all the time to explain cybersecurity. Some people say having cybersecurity is like having insurance. Not really though? Insurance pays out AFTER you have an accident. 🏰 I always say cybersecurity is more like a medieval castle 🏰 You’ve got your Moat (the Perimeter Security): The moat surrounds the castle, just like perimeter security which includes things like firewalls to keep out unauthorised access. Then there’s the Castle Walls (Network Security): Thick, high walls filled on the inside with traps, deadfalls, and internal barricades which protects against invaders who make it past the moat. This is like how network security defends against threats moving within your system. How about your trusted Guards? (Endpoint Security): Guards patrol the castle, just like endpoint security software like EDR or MDR monitors your devices for suspicious activity. Don't forget your Archers (Threat Intelligence): Archers in towers are there to spot and defend from threats from a long way off. Threat intelligence provides early warnings about potential cyber threats out there in the wild. The you have the Castle Drawbridge (Access Control): The drawbridge allows entry only to authorised people, a bit like how access control mechanisms (like with Microsoft 365 Business Premium) ensure only authenticated users can access your sensitive data. There’s also the Castle Keep (Multi-factor Authentication): The keep (your inner stronghold), secures the crown jewels. Without the proper keys, you can’t get in. Using multi-factor authentication means that even if the castle walls are breached, the intruder still cannot access data secured with MFA without the authenticator token (the keys). The Dungeons (Managed Detection and Response - MDR): If an intruder is caught, they’re taken to the dungeon and interrogated. MDR identifies intruders and quarantines them where they cannot harm your business. A human then analyses the threat and decides whether it needs to be mitigated. Your Knights on Horseback (Web Filtering): When you are roaming out in the wild threats can appear from the trees or in other sneak attacks, and your knights are there to protect you. With web filtering, when you are using the internet, malicious websites are identified and blocked before they can harm, your business systems. Fortify YOUR digital kingdom!
