Though businesses have been embracing innovative security approaches, the threat posed by cyber attackers and fraudsters continues to exist.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not just cyber-attacks but data, when exposed to a large number of users, tends to be misused or meddled with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data security concerns extend to cloud systems as well. There exists a myth that because data on the cloud is available on a unified platform, it becomes easier for fraudsters to hack a cloud-based system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in reality, cloud service providers adhere to stringent security practices and conduct high-end patch management to maintain data security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet another way cloud services providers overcome this hurdle is by implementing strong security authorisation techniques. This can be as simple as protecting data with a password or implementing role-based access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now, with increasing cyber threats, cloud telephony providers have begun to look for enhanced security best practices. One among these is the two-factor authentication technique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is two-factor authentication and how can cloud telephony providers use it to safeguard data? Let us break it down for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is two-factor authentication?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the term suggests, the two-factor authentication technique prompts you to enter additional sets of credentials to access protected data. So, if you have a username and password to safeguard sensitive information on the cloud, you will need to enter another layer of credentials like a One-Time Password (OTP).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, the implementation of two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of safety to your already secured data on the cloud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How do you implement two-factor authentication?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authentication techniques are plenty\u2013\u2013they can be two-factor or even multi-fac<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tor. They range from obtaining an OTP on your registered mobile number to using biometrics to access information. Some of them are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>SMS 2FA<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the system sends a security code to the registered mobile device via an SMS. You are expected to enter this code into the system to access information.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>TOTP 2FA<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time-based one-time password is a password key that is generated on the device you are using to access the information\u2014usually a barcode. You will simply need to scan this code using your device within the valid duration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Pushed-Based 2Fa<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are asked to authenticate your identity through mobile-based notifications. When you prove your identity, you are provided access to the data.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>U2F Tokens<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U2F tokens come as USB ports. You can simply insert them into your device and press a button located on the top of the port. This prompts a credential request. Once you enter the information, you are provided access to the desired data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25777 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication.webp\" alt=\"Customer Privacy Adding an Extra Layer of Security with Two Factor Authentication\" width=\"800\" height=\"2233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication-107x300.webp 107w, https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication-367x1024.webp 367w, https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication-54x150.webp 54w, https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication-768x2144.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication-550x1536.webp 550w, https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-privacy-adding-an-extra-layer-of-security-with-two-factor-authentication-734x2048.webp 734w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why is two-factor authentication important?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The worldwide <\/span><a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/documents\/3889055\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">information security market<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is estimated to reach $170.4 billion in 2022. Yet, approximately <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">68%<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of business leaders feel cybersecurity risks are increasing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we say two-factor authentication, it refers to appropriate authentication through two completely different channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, consider you are trying to access some information. You enter your login credentials over the Internet. The chances of a cyber-attacker hacking your network and stealing your credentials are high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With two-factor authentication in place, you are expected to enter another set of credentials. This may be a code that you get on your mobile or a barcode you need to scan. So, even if an attacker obtains acce<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ss to your credentials, they will not be able to get a hold of your mobile device and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, two-factor authentication plays a cardinal role in safeguarding your data from phishing attacks, brute force attacks, and exploitation of weak login credentials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this brief, let&#8217;s now look into how beneficial two-factor authentication<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is and how effectively can <a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/cloud-phone-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cloud telephony service providers<\/a> implement it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Boosts security<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you incorporate two different ways of authenticating the user, it automatically steps up your data security level. You ensure that any important information isn\u2019t compromised, no matter what.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Improves productivity<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When data is secured by two-factor authentication, you c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an access business-critical information from anywhere across the globe on a unified cloud platform. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/\">remote work becoming the new normal<\/a>, you can rest assured that all your information is safe from hackers and cyber-attacks. This boosts accessibility and productivity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Builds trust and reputation<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you secure data and maintain its integrity, you prevent cyber-attacks. This induces trust amongst your client base. They feel relieved that they are in association with a trustworthy service provider, thereby enhancing your reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Lowers operational costs<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The implementation of two-factor authentication boosts security. This, therefore, lowers the costs that go into addressing recurring security issues. It also reduces the burden of having to deal with an incident and therefore, lowers operational costs drastically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do cloud telephony service providers offer this security feature?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As cloud telephony service providers, you can adhere to just one (or many) of these approaches to implement two-factor authentication.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Secure specific users or groups<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try providing 2FA to particular groups and users based on their roles and responsibilities. That is, your employees or users will be provided access to data that is required to only complete their work-related tasks. This limits the exposure of data, thereby keeping it safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Authenticate using different methods<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try using a mix-and-match of two-factor authentication techniques to protect data. That is, you can safeguard a specific group using push authentication and another group using OTPs. This way, you ensure your employees are equipped with the best security strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Protect based on application<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business processes involve sensitive applications, you can consider protecting these specific applications using high-end security authentication techniques like TOTP or push notifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Lay security rules based on geographical location<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a certain group of users is working remotely from a particular location, you can reinforce 2FA techniques for this geography.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3>Safeguard your network<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also secure users based on their network. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home or public networks should ideally have an additional layer of security. They\u2019re more prone to cyber attacks as they can easily be tampered with. Therefore, you must have strict security practices in place for employees to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>In a nutshell<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rate at which sensitive business data is bein<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">g compromised has left several businesses in a panic. The need of the hour is to implement robust data safety measures.
