Frost & Sullivan’s video highlights that simple, easy-to-deploy authentication solutions will find rapid uptake among businesses operating in the new normal
The past few years have seen an increase in employees using personal devices and systems to access work emails and company databases, and exchange valuable information with colleagues, clients, and vendors. These tools can help people complete their jobs but are fraught with security challenges. The scale of this challenge increased considerably in 2020 due to the expanded use of devices to accommodate work-from-home mandates and consequent sudden surge in cybercrimes.
Frost & Sullivan’s spotlight video, Leveraging MFA for Digital Business Interactions, highlights the ways in which companies can better protect themselves using tools more sophisticated than password protection. It examines how threats and attacks exist around employees’ external systems and devices, and explains how multi-factor authentication (MFA) can be easily leveraged by IT departments. It also analyzes the ways companies can balance increased security with a better user experience, to ensure full user adoption.

“Passwords are no longer enough for businesses to secure their data. MFA has become a necessity for the modern business. However, MFA implementation and adoption can be cumbersome for IT departments and users,” explained Roberta Gamble, Partner and Vice President at Frost & Sullivan. “Businesses need solutions that provide ease of installation and deployment, user-friendly tools and interface, and a clear method for the business to enforce usage.”
