You wouldn’t leave your office in downtown St. Pete or Bradenton unlocked overnight. So why log into your business apps without a second layer of protection?
What is MFA and Why Should You Care?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is like adding a second lock to your digital front door. A password alone can be stolen, guessed, or phished. MFA adds a quick extra step—like a text code, fingerprint, or app approval—that confirms it’s really you logging in.
Think of your password as locking the front door. MFA is setting the alarm. That one extra step is the difference between a near miss and a major data breach.
MFA Is Simple—and It Works
Whether you’re logging into your cloud files, email, or client accounts, MFA cuts off hackers even if they get your password.
Microsoft reports MFA blocks over 99.2% of account attacks. That’s a massive return for something that takes less than a minute to set up.
Where to Use MFA in Your Firm
Focus on these key areas:
- Banking and financial apps
- Email and cloud file storage
- Work logins tied to client or sensitive data
- Any app where a breach could hurt your business
Most apps already support MFA—you just need to turn it on.
Real-Life Wins from Local Firms
We recently helped a Sarasota-based tax firm set up MFA across their systems. Within weeks, an attempted login from overseas triggered an alert. Because MFA was in place, the attacker couldn’t get in—and the firm avoided a major incident.
Don’t Wait for a Breach
The cost of skipping MFA? Weeks of cleanup, data loss, or worse—regulatory headaches.
Let Reef Cyber Security help you enable MFA across your business and show your team how to use it. We’ll handle setup and support so your firm stays focused on what it does best.
