Multi Factor Authentication

It may be an unpopular truth, but passwords are no longer enough.

It’s time to implement Multifactor Authentication (MFA) if you are not already doing so.

🚩Recent reports have unveiled hair-raising statistics: over 1 billion passwords were stolen by malware within a single year, as reported by Forbes. This surge in credential theft highlights the alarming vulnerability of relying solely on passwords for system security.

With Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT), the integrity of operations is paramount, and the consequences of unauthorized access can be catastrophic. A compromised password can give malicious actors an open gateway to your systems, leading to operational disruptions, safety hazards, and colossal financial losses.

✅The use of Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is a simple but effective countermeasure against such threats. By requiring multiple forms of verification—such as a password combined with a biometric scan or a hardware token—MFA adds layers of security that significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

At Operational Network Solutions, we specialize in fortifying ICS and OT environments against evolving cyber threats. Our tailored MFA solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems, enhancing security without compromising operational efficiency.
