At Infosecurity Europe 2024, 🌐 our survey highlighted a widespread adoption of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) among organizations. However, many are simply following industry norms rather than implementing it as a robust security measure. Our research aligns with previous findings, revealing that while 95% of UK businesses adopted MFA, only 40% did so for its security benefits. This gap highlights a critical issue: compliance often takes precedence over genuine security measures. Despite high adoption rates, many organizations remain vulnerable to account takeover incidents due to over-reliance on first-generation MFA (MFA 1.0) technologies. To truly protect our digital assets, we must prioritize security over compliance and embrace more advanced MFA solutions (MFA 2.0), like AuthN by IDEE. 🔒💡 Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dKkjmczz #CyberSecurity #MFA #InfosecurityEurope2024" ================================================== #AuthN by IDEE protects against all credential #phishing and #password-based attacks (including #AiTM).

'Secure by design' is a tenet we live by, so it's great to see the Government's NCSC latest code of practice for software vendors. This blog goes into some depth, but it's a large part of why, as an MSP, we chose our trusted vendors over others. We put people over profit; robust security over sales figures. We want confidence that our cyber security solutions (and, more broadly, all our software and systems) can demonstrate high levels of defence against the latest threats. Keeping our customers cyber-secure, resilient and reliable for their customers is a huge part of what makes Neos, Neos.
