Passwords Alone Are No Longer Enough

πŸ”‘ Passwords Alone Are No Longer Enough

Many cyberattacks don’t start with hacking β€” they start with stolen or reused passwords.

Common password risks we see in SMEs:

❌ Same password used across systems
❌ Weak or predictable passwords
❌ Shared accounts between employees

Once a password is compromised, attackers can access:

β€’ Email
β€’ Cloud systems
β€’ Business data
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a critical second layer of protection by requiring an additional verification step β€” even if a password is stolen.

βœ” Easy to implement
βœ” Low cost
βœ” Stops the majority of credential-based attacks

If your business uses Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or cloud applications, MFA should be enabled by default.

πŸ‘‰ Does your business use MFA today?
