In fact, stolen identities could prove the weakest link in protecting your users and your databases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do hackers steal identities? Usually through passwords. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/3rd-annual-global-password-security-report\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LastPass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the average employee reuses each of their passwords thirteen times. Moreover, employees at small businesses need an average of 85 passwords. Meanwhile, large enterprise employees may still need to juggle at least 25.\u00a0 If even one of those passwords ends up on the Dark Web after a breach, then your users may end up vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"iam-inject\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/get-a-free-privilieged-access-management-solutions-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2020\/01\/PAM_BG_SB_800.gif\" alt=\"Download Link to Privileged Access Management Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Charles Eagan, Chief Technology Officer, made a statement to SDxCentral which proves incredibly relevant. \u201cPasswords are painful and not that effective&#8230;People do things to avoid having to remember passwords, or they take shortcuts.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>How Multifactor Authentication Prevent Stolen Identities<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The problem with passwords can be traced back to overreliance; any single-factor authentication makes hackers\u2019 attacks more efficient. After all, if they only need to bypass one barrier to access, they don\u2019t face a significant imposition to their time and resources. However, the solution to this problem proves equally: multifactor authentication. The more barriers to your identities and databases, the fewer stolen identities your enterprise shall face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Multifactor authentication can incorporate time of access request monitoring, geofencing, and biometrics. While multifactor authentication can\u2019t prevent all hackers\u2014eventually a hacker can bypass any security protection\u2014it can certainly deter them. Hackers tend to attack the low-hanging fruit\u2014and an enterprise without better access protections will look fairly low-hanging.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/get-a-free-identity-and-access-management-software-solutions-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2019 Identity Management Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for more information.
