One may know what the term VPN means, but what about when a VPN should be used and more importantly – not used, and what are the risks of using a VPN versus the benefits. The integrity of data is maintained only if the data is authentic, accurate, and reliable. Is there a compendium to choose from?

2FA, MFA, 2-Step They may all be familiar, but there are important differences that warrant explanation and we'll start with the acronym we most commonly see: 2FA is two-factor authentication. MFA is multi-factor authentication. 2-Step authentication does not necessarily require 2 discrete factors. It's a subset of MFA.
