MFA = CYBER SECURITY

"MFA"

Multi-Factor Authentication MANDATE

by 2025

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds another layer of protection—think of it like securing your front door with both a deadbolt and a keypad lock. MFA is a simple, effective way to keep hackers out, even if they manage to get your password.

MFA is a security feature that requires you to verify your identity in multiple ways before accessing an account. You might also hear it called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

MFA increases the security of an account by 99%

According to guidance by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) and backed up by research from Microsoft, enabling MFA can prevent 99% of automated hacking attacks.

The math makes sense. If you require both a password and another factor like FaceID to increase your protection, the account's security basically doubles!

General Q&A

Investor Q&A

VSMR was started in 2006 as Treasurer Explorations Inc. The company's name was changed to Verify Smart Company in March 2009. The firm was expected to combine with two private BVI corporations, one of which had patent rights. This did not become a reality. In December of 2009, Tony Cinotti joined the firm. At the time, no patents were granted, although applications were submitted in several nations. Working with the inventor and patent lawyers, the business gained US and Canadian patents under the direction of Tony. Due to a lack of promised funds, the firm was unable to obtain or proceed with the additional applications. In 2012, the business started negotiating with mobile interactive to demand their company and texting technologies. Again, this did not materialize owing to a lack of finance. But, VSMR created software to form a mobile fan club for a select few. The effectiveness of the technique was shown by several celebrities and athletes. But, management collaborated with a Scottish software business to build the software in exchange for shares and lower consultation fees. While the product was in great demand and desired by the majority of consumers, capital once again became an issue, and the firm was unable to satisfy demand without further IT assistance. In 2017, the business hired a new CEO and began the process of licensing the patents further and forming partnerships with other companies.

What To Know...

MFA has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. Passwords can be easily compromised, either through brute-force attacks or phishing scams. By requiring a second factor of authentication, MFA provides an extra layer of security that can prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and transactions. MFA can also be used to protect against identity theft, as it makes it much harder for attackers to impersonate legitimate users.
