Product Update: Introducing Multi-Factor Authentication for Asset-Map
Given the sensitive nature of client information in financial services, Asset-Map is committed to providing a safe and secure platform.
As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the highest levels of platform and data security, we’re excited to announce the release of multi-factor authentication to all Asset-Map users.
What is multi-factor authentication?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA), also called two-factor authentication or 2FA, is a proven process of requiring users to provide two or more verification factors to protect and secure their data from a variety of cyberattacks.
Here are Just a Few Benefits of Enabling MFA:
Reduces Fraud & Identity Theft - MFA reduces the risk of fraud and identity theft by requiring additional security measures that “bad actors” can not easily access.
Increases Client Trust - Clients like to know that their data is secure. Enabling MFA reduces the risk of data breaches and shows a focus on protecting customer data.
Helps You Stay Compliant - Enhanced data security measures such as MFA are often suggested, or even required of governing bodies.
