Business Continuity Profile. It’s one thing to have a business continuity plan, but it’s another to make sure your staff know about it. Those involved in writing the plan and the core members of recovery teams are likely aware of the plan. This is great, but what about everyone else in the organization? When bad things happen, will the staff know the company has a plan in place?

What is a Multi-Factor Authentication? Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of protecting your online identity. It’s used to verify that the user is who they say they are. By doing so, the MFA asks the user to provide two forms of identification or confirmation that they are who they say they are. These pieces of identification fall into three categories: something they are, something they know, and something they have.
