Why Authentication
is Necessary

There is one safeguard, known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all...What is it? Distrust. - Demosthenes
(c. 384-322 B.C.E.)

This advice flies in the face of the way our grand-fathers conducted business - The "my handshake is my bond" way of entering into a contract worked for your grandfather because he was never on the witness stand facing an attorney hired by one of your clients, employees or share holders, asking the question of why you were unable to keep prying eyes off their sensitive data. Your father stored such data in locked file cabinets and then locked the office door every night. You also lock the office door, but what are you doing to lock up the data contained on your computer's hard drive? And what about laptops? Most laptops contain data that is infinitely more valuable than the laptop itself. A fact known by laptop thieves. Most laptops stolen in airports and other public places are stolen for their contents rather than for their value as fenced items. How do you protect sensitive or critical data from getting into the wrong hands?

Passwords - Require those who use your computers to have logon passwords
Encryption - Encrypt the sensitive data files
This may surprise you, but neither practice is very secure and if relied upon to secure sensitive data could result in your gross liability.

  2. Why doesn't data encryption work?
  3. Two-Factor Authentication is the answer
