The Importance of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Cybersecurity
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated every day, and yet, many businesses still rely on just passwords for security. I’ve been pushing my clients to adopt multi-factor authentication (MFA), but there’s often resistance due to perceived inconvenience.
What do you all think—how critical is MFA for protecting sensitive data, and how can we convince more organizations to use it?

I’m with you, Ivan. MFA should be a minimum standard. Passwords alone are too vulnerable—too many people still use weak passwords or reuse them across different accounts. But I get the hesitation. A lot of smaller businesses fear that MFA will complicate login processes for employees and customers, especially if they’re not tech-savvy.Ivan
Exactly, Hiroshi! It's the perceived inconvenience that keeps holding businesses back. But the reality is, a single data breach can cause way more disruption than an extra authentication step. MFA is about protecting that very first line of defense—especially as phishing attacks and credential theft skyrocket.
