Most cyberattacks today do not start with complex hacking. They start with stolen usernames and passwords. Phishing emails, fake login pages, malware, and data breaches all aim for the same thing: credentials.<\/p>\n
Once attackers have valid login details, they can move freely through systems, access sensitive data, and deploy ransomware, often without triggering alarms.<\/p>\n

It adds a second layer of protection that makes stolen passwords far less useful to attackers.<\/p>\n At Exigo Tech, we consider MFA not just a security feature, but a basic requirement for protecting modern digital environments.
