We spoke with the team of www.protegesusdata.com Canarian data protection company that advises us to add a double factor to any asset that is of value to us, for example: social networks, gmail accounts, office accounts and any technology with which we work.
What is double factor 2FA? Secure Access
It is an accreditation system that is divided into three distinct steps:
. Authentication: verification of digital identity, to know that the user is who he claims to be. The first is normally made up of a username and password.
. Authorization: User authorization, e.g .: SMS, QR code, email, fingerprint, facial, biometrics
. Audit: records of digital accesses made by the authorized or unauthorized user
It is a security layer to guarantee access to accounts and / or actions in these accounts.
