HOW DOES THE FUTURE LOOK ? WILL THERE BE BETTER OR EASIER SOLUTIONS THAN PASSWORDS AND MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION ?
Experts predict that passwordless solutions — such as biometrics , hardware tokens , and behavior-based authentication — are emerging and may soon replace traditional passwords . Passwordless authentication allows users to verify their identity without a password , often using methods known as passkeys . ( https :// www . passkeys . com /)
SMES DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE BUSINESS PHONES , BUT ONLY PRIVATE ONES . DOES THE TYPE OF PHONE IMPACT THE SECURITY OF USING MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION ?
Newer phones typically come with stronger security features , such as hardware-based encryption , which enhance the effectiveness of multi-factor authentication ( MFA ). It should be straightforward to implement these measures : support employees in learning how to act securely , establish clear security policies , and educate them on how to protect their devices .
WHAT IF I LOSE MY MOBILE ?
No matter what you have on the phone , or who it belongs to , you personally or to the organisation you work for , you should treat the lost phone as a data breach . Do your best to act fast ! Remotely lock the phone if possible and report the device as lost . Often times there is a function connected to your account that will allow you to secure it . With some luck , the phone is password / mfa protected and you will be able to lock it before the phone gets broken into .
