Did you know that 90% of Internet vulnerabilities are caused by stolen credentials?
Mobile SMS authentication applications and outdated one-time passwords (OTPs) are exposed to today’s advanced threats.
To counter these modern threats, we recommend modern anti-phishing authentication.
Let’s discover the importance of using a physical security key, as Keeper offers.
What is a physical security key and how does it work?
Security keys provide a convenient and secure method of performing two-factor authentication without the user having to manually enter a six-digit code.
Several security keys can be configured for the user’s safe.
In cases where platforms do not support hardware security keys, users can use other configured authentication methods.
The advantages of using a physical security key
Ensure employee safety and eliminate human error.
Employees are often busy and distracted, and 9 times out of 10 cybersecurity vulnerabilities are caused by human error.
Employees can be tricked by phishing attempts by responding to fraudulent push notifications, or fall victim to simple social engineering techniques designed to steal their security credentials.
That’s why the physical security key protects employees by eliminating “MFA fatigue”.
It’s a great way to get rid of human error and ensure that your employees, and only your employees, have authorized access.
A truly phishing-resistant MFA
Anti-phishing MFA is part of the Zero Trust framework and designates a secure authentication process against hackers attempting to intercept or trick users to obtain their access information.
A modern MFA offers solid protection against phishing thanks to WebAuthn/FIDO authentication and smart card/PIV authentication.
