Authentication
Authentication ensures that only the right people can access your business’s IT systems
Authentication is the process of verifying that someone is who they say they are before granting access to systems, accounts, or data. It’s a key part of IT security that protects your business from unauthorised access and cyber threats.
Common forms of authentication include:
- Passwords (something you know)
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) (e.g., a password plus a code or fingerprint)
Why it matters: Without proper authentication, your business systems could be easily accessed by hackers or unauthorised users, putting sensitive data at risk.
