The internet has evolved far beyond checking emails or updating Facebook. Today, entire businesses run online.
But phishing scams, brute-force attacks, and password leaks are everywhere. That’s why there’s a growing need for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) & Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as they're your best shot at keeping hackers out even after your password is compromised.
Governments and regulators worldwide have caught on. Many now mandate or highly recommend 2FA through frameworks like DORA, NIS2, CISA, and more.
