Multi-Factor Authentication – Benefits, Risks, And How You Can Get The Most From It To Ensure Your Organization's Data Is Secure

BIO-key International, Inc.

By Gita Karunakaran, Benzinga Cyberattacks are on the rise everywhere today, with organizations and individual account passwords routinely targeted by hackers – especially where accounts are vulnerable due to a lack of additional layers of protection beyond the traditional password itself to help keep them secure. According to Microsoft's Digital Defense Report 2022, the volume of password-based attacks has risen to an estimated 921 attacks every second – representing a 74% increase in just one year. This is why companies in the cybersecurity space like BIO-key International Inc. ( NASDAQ: BKYI) that provide Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions to enterprises look to Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) as a mandatory minimum standard when designing solutions to prevent unauthorized access to company systems. The increasing widespread awareness of cybersecurity risks has propelled many companies to embark on their IAM journey by implementing a strategy that includes a variety of authentication methods that meet necessary requirements in security, usability, and flexibility. What Is Multi-factor Authentication? Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a core component of a strong IAM strategy. It’s an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to an online system or account, which helps decrease the likelihood of a successful cyber attack. The main benefit of MFA is that it would enhance an organization's security by requiring users to identify themselves using more than just a username and password. Passwords continue to be the weakest link in the chain and remain vulnerable to brute force attacks or theft by third parties. Having an MFA solution is therefore able to reduce the probability of hackers gaining access to company systems and accounts. MFA may be based on a combination of two of three different types of authentication factors, including: Things you know, such as a password or PIN; Things you have in your possession, such as a token or smartphone; Things you are, such as biometrics like fingerprints, palm, face, or voice recognition. The options chosen by each organization may depend on their risk appetites and budgets – but what is certain is that the cybersecurity and MFA market is poised for appreciable growth. The global MFA market was valued at US $10.3 billion in 2020. The market is estimated to expand at an impressive CAGR of 16.08% from 2021 to 2031 and is expected to exceed $51.37 billion by the end of 2031. Some of the key players in the Multi-factor Authentication market include Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), Duo Security Inc. (private), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), ForgeRock Inc. (NYSE: FORG) and Entrust Inc. (TYO: 7191) MFA Is Great, But What About MFA Fatigue? As MFA continues to gain prominence across the business landscape, it is seemingly becoming increasingly vulnerable to exploitation by cybercriminals. While there is no doubting the merits of MFA over mere password protection, MFA needs to be managed properly in order to avoid a phenomenon known as“MFA fatigue”. Even though having an MFA in place is a step in the right direction to stronger security, the process can become tiring and tedious on account of the multiple additional PINs, codes, and push notifications, instead of only a username and password that users needed to recall previously. This could result in MFA fatigue among users. Cybercriminals who manage to hack into passwords are able to generate repeated push notifications in what is known as a brute force attack. While some users will be diligent all the time, MFA fatigue can result in some users inadvertently approving a push notification and granting full access to the hacker. BIO-key May Have A Highly Secure And Nearly Fail-Safe Solution According to BIO-key, although most organizations have begun to implement a variety of MFA methods as part of their IAM strategy, the best outcomes can only be achieved by deploying a cohesive solution across the entire organization. Deploying disparate solutions would make the proposition unnecessarily expensive and difficult for IT teams to manage. BIO-key boasts flexible Identity and Access Management solutions that are integrated with their unique biometric authentication option – Identity-Bound Biometrics – making it easy for organizations to secure access using fingerprint, palm, and facial scanning. BIO-key’s single, unified IAM platform, PortalGuard, provides security solutions for a wide range of use cases and business initiatives, with Multi-factor Authentication, Single Sign-on, and Self-service Password Reset abilities. MFA with PortalGuard could be the most efficient and secure solution, says BIO-key – allowing organizations to consolidate and aggregate existing methods under a single, unified IAM platform, with the ability to add more powerful authentication methods like Identity-Bound Biometrics to further strengthen their cybersecurity as necessary.

BIO-key is revolutionizing authentication and cybersecurity with biometric-centric, multi-factor identity and access management (IAM) software managing millions of users. Its cloud-based PortalGuard IAM solution provides cost-effective, easy to deploy, convenient and secure access to devices, information, applications, and high-value transactions.

Uber Alumni startup Hatica raises US$3.7M to boost developer productivity and well-being using engineering analytics

Hatica

Engineering analytics platform Hatica today announced US$3.7 million in seed funding led by Surge, Sequoia Capital India and Southeast Asia’s rapid scale-up program. The round included participation from existing investor Kae Capital and from engineering leaders from Google, Uber, Twitter, Okta and Notion as angel investors*. Ex-Uber engineers Naomi Chopra (CEO) and Haritabh Singh (CTO) are on a mission to boost productivity and enhance the overall experience for 30 million developers globally and address the multi-trillion dollar problem owing to inefficiencies in the software development process. The rise of distributed teams amidst remote and hybrid working environments, coupled with SaaS sprawl, has made it challenging for engineering leaders and managers today to uncover inefficiencies in the development lifecycle. Ensuring alignment of effort with business goals and protecting developer wellbeing has thus been a persistent and growing challenge. However, SaaS startup Hatica has become the respite for more than 20,000 developers and engineering leaders in solving such productivity and alignment issues. “We aim to build Hatica as the daily landing app for every engineering leader to get to the heart of what they can do to help their engineers do their best work, ” said Naomi Chopra, co-founder & CEO of Hatica. As engineering teams use dozens of developer tools and rely on manager 1-on-1s, standups, long team meetings and unscheduled catch-ups to align on project progress and discuss blockers, it is extremely challenging for engineering leaders to identify the root cause of developer toil and loss in productivity. Hatica streamlines this process as the only engineering analytics platform that provides an end-to-end view of software development workflows. It is built on the principles of modern productivity frameworks, like SPACE framework by Github and Microsoft, to deliver accurate metrics across three well-known pillars of developer productivity: velocity, alignment and wellbeing. It integrates and communicates with all the tools that developers use daily, such as Github, JIRA, CI/CD systems, along with incident management and collaboration apps. Engineering leaders benefit from data-driven management by leveraging these combined insights to uncover bottlenecks, allocate resources efficiently and preempt team burnout. Hatica’s platform has been making a significant impact on its customers’ value stream and delivery lifecycle. For example, a real estate technology company saw an increase of 55% in maker time (uninterrupted time to code) and adopted a streamlined async approach to remote engineering operations. Another technology company, a social media platform, saw a 50% reduction in cycle time (time to production) by addressing workflow bottlenecks. Naomi Chopra, co-founder and CEO of Hatica added, “ Developers are depending on more and more tools to get their work done while engineering costs are burgeoning, making the developer experience and productivity a critical problem to solve for organisations globally. With Hatica, we've embarked a mission to equip engineering leaders with crucial and actionable insights to help them build effective and happy engineering teams. We'll be utilising the fresh funds to double down on hiring and expand the Hatica team globally to fuel our next phase of growth”. *Angel investors are Akshay Kothari, Apurva Dalal, Ashutosh Agrawal, Gaurav Lahoti, Punit Soni, Peeyush Ranjan and Pratyus Patnaik. About Hatica Hatica is on a mission to equip engineering managers and leaders with the visibility and insights to help them build productive and healthy engineering teams.
