Skybersecurity Month: What the heck is MFA?

Think your password is enough to keep your accounts safe? Think again. In today’s digital world, cyber threats are constantly evolving, and passwords alone are no longer enough to protect your sensitive information. This is where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) comes in. 

Our CEO, Serge Paquin, recently shared in a short video the critical importance of Multi-Factor Authentication for enhancing your account security.

What is Multi-Factor Authentication?

Multi-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. Instead of just relying on one password, MFA requires two forms of identification—something you know, like your password, and something you have, such as a code sent to your phone or an app.

Why MFA is Critical

Even if your password gets compromised, MFA acts as a second barrier that hackers can’t easily bypass. It defends you against phishing, brute-force attacks, and other malicious attempts to steal your credentials.

Setting Up MFA is Easy

Most online services, like banking apps or email providers, now offer MFA. It’s easy to enable—just go to your account settings, find the security options, and activate MFA. You’ll be prompted to link your phone, email, or another form of verification.

Types of MFA

There are several options when it comes to MFA. You can use text messages, authenticator apps, or even biometric verification, such as fingerprints or facial recognition. Pick the method that works best for you to ensure maximum security.

Don’t Wait, Activate MFA Now

Passwords are good, but MFA is better. This Cybersecurity Month, take the extra step to safeguard your accounts by activating Multi-Factor Authentication. It’s quick, simple, and one of the most effective ways to protect your data from evolving cyber threats.
