October is Cyber Security Awareness Month in Canada. This week's theme is: Strengthen Your Defences.

When you consider what you’re doing to keep yourself cyber secure, the first thing that might come to mind is using a strong password or a passphrase that cyber criminals aren’t likely to guess. Passwords and passphrases are, indeed, a key part of keeping you and your family cyber secure.

But there’s also another, often overlooked, tactic that can add an additional layer of security against cyber threats: multi-factor authentication . Here are three ways multi-factor authentication (or MFA) can help you stay cyber secure:

- It offers added security in addition to passwords, serving as a second layer of backup protection.
- It gives you peace of mind across all your accounts because if one account is compromised, you're other accounts remain protected.
- It helps you stay ahead of changing cyber threats which are becoming more sophisticated by the day.

You can learn more about the importance of multi-factor authentication at the link below, or reach out and ask us. We're here to help.
