📢 November 12th marks the second edition of the #MoreThanAPasswordDay ! 💡Recent data from the 2024 Cyber Readiness Institute (CRI) global survey reveals that awareness and implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) remains dismally low among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Nearly six out of ten SMBs (58%) remain unaware of MFA’s essential role in cybersecurity and only 35% worldwide have implemented MFA, leaving millions of accounts unprotected and vulnerable to unauthorized access. 🌐 With cyberattacks on the rise, it’s clear: relying on passwords alone is no longer enough to protect our digital identities. Join #MoreThanAPasswordDay and be a part of the global effort to redefine online security.
