The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has published advice for organisations on implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect against password guessing and theft on online services.
The NCSC says uptake of multi-factor authentication, which is also referred to as two-step verification and 2-factor authentication (2FA), has been slow and this needs to change. This new guidance, made available today, describes how to use MFA to mitigate against password guessing and theft, including brute force attacks.
The guidance is primarily for senior decision makers in larger organisations, and administrators responsible for implementing access to online and enterprise services that requires users to authenticate to the service.
Readers can access the NCSC's guidance here.
