As cyber threats become more sophisticated, relying solely on traditional passwords for account security is no longer sufficient. HCSS now supports email and SMS verification as a multi-factor authentication (MFA) login option. MFA is a crucial step in adding an extra layer of defense that reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your company's sensitive data.
Multi-factor authentication is a simple process that only takes two steps.
1. When a login is attempted, the system sends a unique, time-sensitive verification code to the user's registered email address or cell phone number.
2. The user must enter this code to gain access, ensuring that only those with direct access to the email or SMS account can proceed.
This process effectively blocks attackers who might have stolen or guessed the user's password but cannot access their email or cell phone.
Email and SMS-based MFA are incredibly versatile. Businesses of any size can quickly implement it without the need for extensive IT infrastructure. It offers customers a straightforward way to enhance security without significant changes to their daily routines or workflows. By adopting SMS or email MFA, businesses can bolster their defense, ensuring their data remains secure.
