In recent years there has been a growing trend for cybercriminals to target human resources departments in order to exploit the sensitive data they handle. Hackers can do a lot of damage, and make a lot of money, once they gain access to Social Security information, dates of birth, work history or employee and company bank account numbers.
Gartner predicted that in three years, “80% of enterprises will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services and private application access from a single vendor’s security service edge (SSE) platform.” It seems like it wasn’t too long ago that the security industry was recommending multiple vendors to safeguard your business. Now the pendulum swings the other way. Fortunately, it’s a healthy sign for the cybersecurity industry.
WatchGuard and Miercom, an independent organization focused on product testing, have worked together on testing three MFA solutions to assess performance and cost effectiveness, as well as user and admin experience. AuthPoint MFA was tested competitively with two similar solutions: Cisco Duo and Azure MFA.
