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:
1.
Log
into your Microsoft 365 admin portal.
2.
Go
to Active Users > Multi-Factor Authentication
3.
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
