Multi-factor Authentication

The old days of having a good, strong password are gone. And, let’s face it – most people never really had a good password; and if they did, it was taped to their monitor allowing anyone access to network. That is where multi-factor authentication (MFA) comes in. It combines something you know (i.e. your password) with something you have (i.e. code from your mobile phone) to deliver a much more secure authentication method.

Since everyone now carries a mobile phone with them, you no longer require expensive token cards or key fobs to implement MFA. A company can send a temporary code to your mobile phone via text or call to complete the authentication process. Even if someone knows your password, they will not have the code, which only lasts for seconds. LBMC Technology Solutions can assist your business with securing your authentication process with an MFA solution.

Benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication

• Secure Networks
• Token cards and key fobs no longer required

Antivirus & Anti-Malware

The threat of viruses, malware and other cyber terrorism acts have sadly become a part of our daily lives. Computer viruses were once simple and limited…now we are faced with advanced malware threats, phishing scams, key loggers, ransomware and more. These virtual threats will attack you through every electronic method possible; infected bogus package delivery messages, the infamous rich Nigerian prince, an email attachment that attempts to encrypt every file in your organization, accidentally visiting an infected website – the perils are virtually everywhere.

Your organization needs a vigilant protection system. LBMC Technology Solutions provides a layered approach to addressing this ever-present threat. Our antivirus and anti-malware solutions are configured to provide highest levels of protection, while having minimal impact on system performances.

Social Engineering

Threat actors are always thinking of new ways to target individuals and businesses, trying to acquire personal information, login credentials, or other sensitive information. One of the most common trends today is social engineering. Social engineering is pretending to be someone else to fool a person into revealing sensitive information, passwords, or other information that compromises a target system’s security. Do not become a victim of social engineering by unwittingly giving out information to an unknown person. A skilled social engineer will convince you that a). they are someone they are not and b). there is no harm in giving them the information they are requesting or entering information on malicious websites that appear to be genuine.

Always remember, that social engineering can happen through multiple sources such as email, text messages, and telephone calls. Take these steps to help ensure that you don’t become a victim: Authenticate, Authorize, Make A Phone Call Back, Don’t Be Pressured, Be Alert, Be Polite but Firm, and Report. With the rising amount of ransomware attacks and phishing messages, cyber security has never been more important than it is today.

Another rising trend alongside social engineering is more and more scams on the internet, to learn more read our blog post about common Facebook Marketplace scams.
