Two-factor authentication enhances security

This new security feature is aimed at protecting our customers from unauthorised access to their account and machine information. Hackers are always looking for ways to compromise valuable data and 76% of network intrusions exploited weak or stolen credential. Moreover, 62% of IP breaches in the manufacturing, services and technology industries involved stolen credentials, according to DBRI. This is where the 2FA comes into play. 

The 2FA is a secure identification mechanism combining two different components for unambiguous authentication. In other words: it adds an extra step to the login procedure. It is based on the principle that an unauthorised actor is unlikely to be able to supply both factors required for access. While it is not new technology, eWON is the first industrial communication company to add this security layer to its customer accounts.
