Statistical Proof that 2FA is one of the Most Important Controls an Organization can Implement
In October 2021, the Google announced plans to turn on two-factor authentication by default for 150 million Google users who were not currently using the service and to require 2 million YouTube creators to use it. In a recent post, Google says it observed a 50 percent decrease in accounts being compromised among that test user group.
The strategy shows the power of a tech giant like Google to provide security by default and fits into a years-long project to move users toward a more robust security model. The results also highlight the power of two-factor authentication when it comes to securing online accounts. We highly recommend utilizing this free, simple tool whenever possible.
