Braintek Tech Tip Enable MFA

Hello my name

is Greg Brainerd, owner of Braintek.

Here’s another TECH TIP which is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to protect your company: Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication for Microsoft 365.

Here’s why it matters. Most cyberattacks start with a stolen or guessed password. Employees reuse passwords, attackers send convincing phishing emails, and before you know it, someone is inside your email, files, or entire network. But Multi-Factor Authentication, or MFA, stops that. Even if someone gets your password, they still need a second approval from your phone or authenticator app. That one extra step blocks the vast majority of unauthorized access attempts.

Setting it up is easy:

Log into your Microsoft 365 admin portal.

Go to Active Users > Multi-Factor Authentication

Turn it on for your team and walk them through choosing their preferred method - text messages, authenticator app or passkeys.

It takes just a few minutes and the protection is tremendous.

If you’d like Braintek to help secure your Microsoft 365 accounts, review your network or take IT headaches off your plate entirely, give us a call at 281-367-8253 or visit braintek.com to schedule a security assessment.
