Do we really need multi-factor authentication for a small business?
Yes — multi-factor authentication blocks the vast majority of account takeover attempts even when a password has been stolen, and it costs little to nothing to enable on most business email and cloud platforms. Security researchers consistently rank it as the single highest-impact control available to any size business.
Stolen passwords are cheap and common — billions are available to attackers from old data breaches, often for accounts your employees reused. MFA is the one control that makes a stolen password useless on its own, which is why it's usually the very first recommendation in any cybersecurity assessment, regardless of company size or industry.
