Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Passwords are your first authentication factor and should always be
reinforced by using 2FA. 2FA enables you to strengthen access to
your account by using two different forms of authentication methods
to access an account or service. Keeper supports multiple 2FA
programmes including SMS, TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy),
FIDO U2F (YubiKey), Duo and RSA.
Enforcing your password management policy
and procedures
Most businesses have limited visibility into password practices of
their employees which greatly increases cyber-risk. A total of 90%
of employee passwords can be cracked in six hours or less, making
them a business’ number one internal security risk. The easiest way
to improve employee password hygiene is though critical insight into
password usage and compliance.
The ability to enforce policy controls, define access roles and
restrict sharing is critical for safe enterprise password management.
Limiting employee access to a need-to-know basis ensures that
employees only have company resources and logins that they need
at the times they need it.
Assigning a delegated admin that is regularly monitoring,
provisioning and deprovisioning access to users based on their role
is highly recommended. n
