Why multi-factor authentication should be set up for all your services and devices

More than ever, now is the time to make absolutely sure that your services and devices are using the best protection available to keep data secured and away from unauthorized hands.

Computing devices are among the most widely attacked and compromised targets, given that endpoints are used frequently and by many users.

When devices are 1:1, it's a bit easier to manage hardware defenses, especially when the end-user has additional, non-company data on these devices.

Like smartphones, may pull double duty as the default trusted device that receives one-time passwords from services and other hardware when attempting to access those.
