To protect yourself from new cyber threats, it is essential to stay up-to-date with the latest user permissions. Two-factor authentication is also vital. The digital landscape is always changing and cybercriminals are always one step ahead. To increase security, organizations should adopt centralized solutions to authentication and identification of users (IAM). These can be paired with improved user education.
Typically, 2FA is implemented by making users use an authenticator app on their personal devices. This ensures that only their device is used to sign in to the HubSpot account, which reduces the chance of theft or lost credentials.
Duo Security, for example, a 2FA system that was purchased by Cisco in the year 2018 offers mobile device support to its customers. The platform is based on FIDO and Web Authentication API (WebAuthn) standards to allow mobile device verification by using built-in capabilities available in iOS, Android and Windows phones. This makes it easy for users of mobile devices to confirm their identity without relying on IT experts to update apps or make changes to settings. It can also prevent users from attempting to bypass security controls.
Other options to implement 2FA is to make sure that it is enabled in specific geographic locations and use network information to verify the users‘ location and prevent authentication attempts from suspect networks such as Tor, VPNs, and proxies. These types of conditional rules can be set and enforced in various ways from the administrator’s dashboard of an IAM solution.
Additionally it is crucial to recognize that the process of implementing and deploying 2FA will take some time. To help speed the process, it is an ideal idea to utilize an IAM solution that allows users to self-remediate by removing 2FA when their authenticator app isn’t functioning.
