Many organizations do not have the security systems in place to identify if an account was compromised. However, multi factor authentication (MFA) is one of the protocols most commonly used to protect against stolen credentials and the subsequent access to corporate information. MFA requires more than one method of authentication in order to verify a user’s identity. For more information on MFA, click here.
Biometric authentication is a more secure way of identifying compromised accounts. By using biometric authentication, an organization can capture an employee’s unique typing pattern to verify an employee’s identity, including keystroke speed, pressure, and timing, to reduce exposure from any compromised accounts, prevent emails from being sent, and notify administrators of compromised passwords.
