It is an additional layer of security that enhances the protection of user accounts. It requires users to provide two different types of credentials to verify their identity, typically combining something they know (e.g., a password) with something they have (e.g., a unique code generated on a mobile device). 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if the password is compromised, adding an extra level of protection to sensitive data and systems.
A guideline to ensure strong and secure passwords. A robust password policy typically includes elements such as minimum length, complexity requirements (e.g., uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), password expiration periods, restrictions on password reuse, and password lockout mechanisms. Enforcing a strong password policy helps prevent unauthorized access and reduces the risk of successful brute-force attacks or password guessing.
It helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access, accidental disclosure, or theft of sensitive information. By adopting this policy, employees are encouraged to secure physical documents, lock computer screens, and log out or lock their devices when leaving their workstations.
It refers to fraudulent attempts to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive information, such as passwords, or personal data. Phishing attacks often come in the form of deceptive emails, text messages, or websites that impersonate trusted entities. Phishing awareness and education are crucial to help individuals recognize and avoid falling victim to such attacks.
