Usernames and passwords are at the heart of cybersecurity, both business and personal, whether we know it or not! User credentials control access to our key applications and of course all of our data. Because of that, they are not only important to us, they are a key target for cybercriminals. A cyber bad guy with usernames and passwords can cause a lot of damage to a business or individual.

The harsh reality is user credentials do get compromised, but if that does happen, what can we do to protect our applications and data from compromise? One of the best tools we have available to us is multi-factor authentication (MFA) and that's the topic of this week's show. We discuss why MFA is valuable, some of the challenges that come with adoption, how to be smart with how you use it and what the future holds.

So if you are MFA curious then this is the show for you.
