Frequently Asked

Common questions about this service

What is the difference between MFA and Conditional Access?

MFA is a second factor you use to prove it is really you (phone approval, authenticator app). Conditional Access is a policy that says "require MFA if you are logging in from a new location." MFA is the foundation; Conditional Access makes it smarter.

Will MFA slow down our team?

Initially, yes. But most teams adapt in 1-2 weeks and realize it is just a phone tap. We can set it up so trusted devices do not require MFA every time, balancing security and usability.

What is EDR and do we need it?

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is software on your devices that watches for suspicious behavior and malware. Yes, you need it — it is your last line of defense. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is solid and often included in your Microsoft licenses.

How do ransomware attacks actually happen?

Usually through phishing (fake email tricks you into clicking), credential theft (weak passwords, reused credentials), or unpatched vulnerabilities. MFA, strong identity controls, patch management, and endpoint protection stop most attacks.
