Close the Door on Stolen Passwords
Relying on just a username and password isn't enough to keep information safe anymore. Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second checkpoint, making it much harder for hackers to break in. At ATCOM, we set up MFA in a way that works smoothly with your everyday routine—whether that's a quick push to your phone, a small token, or even biometric verification.
Hackers often go after small and mid‑sized businesses because they expect security to be easier to get around. MFA closes that gap. Even if a password is stolen, access is blocked. Our team makes the rollout simple, helps employees adjust, and provides support along the way.
More and more industries—and even cyber insurance providers—are requiring MFA. Putting it in place now not only protects your business but also helps you stay compliant. An added bonus is that it may also help you control insurance costs. With ATCOM guiding the process, MFA is a straightforward, effective way to safeguard your people and your data.
MFA Methods: Quick Comparison

- +Strong phishing‑resistant security
- +No battery; very reliable
- –Small purchase cost; must carry key
Biometric (Platform)
- +One‑touch; excellent UX
- +No code to type or approve
- –Device support varies; policy controls required
Even if a password is stolen, MFA stops the breach. Make it your new default.

Frequently Asked Questions
What MFA methods can we use?
Common options include mobile push approvals, one‑time codes, FIDO2/U2F security keys, authenticator apps, and compatible biometrics. We’ll help you choose methods that balance security and usability.
What if an employee loses their phone?
We provide backup methods (e.g., hardware keys or codes) and establish a secure re‑enrollment process. Admins also have break‑glass access to avoid lockouts during emergencies.
Will MFA slow users down?
No. With risk‑based policies and trusted device remember‑me, most users only approve a quick prompt occasionally—gaining strong protection with minimal friction.
How do you handle service accounts and legacy apps?
We apply compensating controls like app passwords, conditional access exceptions, or secure vaulting where MFA isn’t supported, and we document everything for audits.
Ready to lock down logins with MFA?
We’ll design the right policies, onboard users, and give you reports your insurer will love.
