"CISA Challenges Partners and Public to Push for 'More Than a Password' in New Social Media Campaign"
The US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has announced a collaborative effort with the industry to increase the adoption of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as well as ensure widespread understanding of why MFA is one of the strongest tools to use in cyber intrusion prevention. CISA wants to raise widespread awareness and understanding of the benefits of MFA to ensure that every American is aware of the simple steps they can take to stay safe online. The cyber defense agency also wants to encourage technology companies to make MFA available as a default option. Throughout the month of June, CISA's "More Than a Password" campaign will include a newly created webpage with tools, how-to guides, and social media material. This article continues to discuss CISA's new social media campaign to get partners and the public to adopt and enable MFA.
