The more factors that occur at the initial login stage, the more secure your databases remain. These factors don\u2019t even require direct interference with the login process; many of them are passive, evaluating location, time, and number of attempts to determine authenticity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"box box3\">ALERT: Cyber threats don&#8217;t rest, even during global pandemics. You can learn more with the Solutions Review <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/get-a-free-identity-and-access-management-software-solutions-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Identity Management Buyer&#8217;s Guide<\/a> and our other resources. We also provide a Bottom Line analysis for each vendor covered therein, as well as key facts about the Identity Management market.\u00a0<\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, multifactor authentication is not a perfect solution. No cybersecurity capability or tool can boast 100 percent effectiveness. While amateur hackers may be deflected or deterred by multifactor authentication, more experienced or prepared hackers can still breakthrough. Without taking extra steps in your identity management, you might still end up vulnerable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So how can you go beyond multifactor authentication to secure your databases?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep a tight leash on your most sensitive databases. Never allow sensitive data in a public database or cloud. Further, don\u2019t allow users to upload such data without the proper permissions. For databases in your network, encrypt them as much as possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensure sensitive data remains in the network, or if it must leave the network, through secure traffic tools like virtual private networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use \u201cstep-up\u201d authentication as the sensitivity of the access requests escalate. More sensitive databases should require further authentication processes, including token-based or biometric.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Utilize continuous authentication to catch hackers. Hackers can fake credentials, but they can\u2019t fake behaviors they\u2019ve never seen before. Tools like behavioral biometrics evaluate whether a user&#8217;s typing behaviors and patterns match their baselines and will freeze suspicious accounts for investigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can learn more in our <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/get-a-free-privilieged-access-management-solutions-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privileged Access Management Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you secure your databases beyond multifactor authentication?
