Securing Data with Multi-Factor Authentication
Did you know? Cybercrime cost UK businesses over £4 billion last year, and threats like data breaches are on the rise.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is your strongest defence, adding an extra layer of security to your systems. The Information Commissioner’s Office recommends it as one of the top ways to protect your data.
In our latest blog, Leanne, Head of Product at BigChange, explains why adding MFA to your BigChange platform is a must, and how it can safeguard your business from cyber threats.
