Quite often, public messengers and email services are used as the main "corporate" means of electronic correspondence. In view of the above, we recommend managers and persons responsible for cybersecurity to set up two-step authentication.
"2FA" is a guarantee of data confidentiality, as well as an additional barrier to fraudsters trying to hijack an account or initiate fundraising on behalf of an organization.
The government's Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine CERT-UA has developed instructions for establishing two-step authentication for some messengers and information systems, among others:
The second factor is an additionally created password (PIN), a one-time code generated in the appropriate application (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator) or a USB device (hardware key, token) such as Yubikey. At the same time, the use of one-time codes in SMS as the main means of 2FA is not recommended.
