At a client’s office this week, one of the IT Professionals had an interesting idea. He can configure two-step logon to contact him, not the consultant, for login verification.

If you configure this at your office, here is how it would work: First, the consultant would enter their username and password to login to your network. Then, an app on your smartphone would indicate that the outsourced consultant is trying to gain access. Then, you will be able to choose to allow or deny the consultant’s login attempt.

This IT Professional wants to know, in real-time, when someone is attempting to log on to his network. If you use this arrangement, you will have the capability to permit them or deny them access each and every time.

It is an interesting idea.

I know – it would be so easy to blame Google. Those passwords were gathered from other “stolen password repositories” posted on the dark-web. They were originally acquired through key-loggers, social engineering, brute-force attacks, and a myriad of other ways. None of them, so far as anyone can tell, were stolen by bypassing any security on Google’s systems.

Once upon a time, imagine a situation where a company called Eulcon Inc. buys a lock from a company named Good-Lock. If an employee at Eulcon Inc. loses the key, and an attacker finds the key, and the attacker breaks into Eulcon, should they blame Good-Lock for the intrusion?

Here is what would be much more secure. What if, every time someone turned the key in the lock at Eulcon, the lock wouldn’t open yet. First, someone at Good-Lock would phone the person at Eulcon to whom the key is registered, in order to verify that they are the person who turned the key. The lock would only open for an authorized person. Potential intruders stay locked out.

This is why it is so important that all organizations set up two step login everywhere possible. Two factor auth dot org provides a list of services that support two step login. Additionally, VPNs, Windows, and other services support two step login. Configure two step login, or pay the consequences. And don’t blame Good-Lock. And don’t be like Eulcon spelled backwards.

Please forward this cyber-security info to everyone you care about.

Visit two factor auth dot org (no spaces) for a list of services that already permit you to choose two step login. Each site will walk you through the process.

Google calls their service 2 step verification. Google that phrase to find instructions on Google’s site.

Forward this to everyone who you care about so that they can be more cyber-secure too.
