Why Do I Need Two-Factor Authentication?
In today’s market, online identity theft and online fraud continue to be one of the fast-growing
cyber crime activities used by many unethical hackers and cyber criminals to steal digital
assets for financial gains. Many companies and corporations are losing millions of dollars
and running into risks of revealing their trade secrets and other proprietary information as the
results of these cyber crime activities. Security threats and hackers have become more
sophisticated, and user names, encrypted passwords, and the presence of firewalls are no
longer enough to protect the networks from being compromised. IT professionals and
security experts have recognized the need to go beyond the traditional authentication
process by introducing and requiring additional factors to the authentication process.
NETGEAR has also recognized the need to provide more than just a firewall to protect the
networks. NETGEAR has implemented a more robust authentication system known as
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA or T-FA) to help address the fast-growing network security
issues.
What Are the Benefits of Two-Factor Authentication?
Stronger security. Passwords cannot efficiently protect the corporate networks because
attackers can easily guess simple passwords or users cannot remember complex and
unique passwords. One-time passcode (OTP) strengthens and replaces the need to
remember complex password.
No need to replace existing hardware. Two-Factor Authentication can be added to
existing NETGEAR products through a firmware upgrade.
