Posted on by Peter

Modern businesses are increasingly reliant on the strength and efficiency of their IT infrastructure, with the vast majority of essential daily operations and processes now carried out digitally. Yet even as the complexity of these IT systems continues to evolve, many organisations are simply not equipped to handle the demands of this crucial business backbone.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ukraine

Posted on by Peter

With our newspapers and 24-hour news channels filled with the events currently unfolding in Ukraine, the team here at Andromeda Solutions are with the many millions around the globe who are feeling deeply saddened and concerned.

Unimaginable Challenges

The images on our screens of long queues of citizens hoping to board trains to safety, or reconnecting with family at the borders of neighbouring countries are a poignant insight into the very human tragedy being experienced by a nation who have suddenly seen their whole lives uprooted.

Young and old men alike are finding themselves thrown into front line combat situations, often with little training, whilst the growing loss of civilian lives to bombing raids is a horrifying reminder of the true cost of war. For those of us with families of our own, this all seems hard to imagine, and we can only admire the strength, courage, and resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of this vicious onslaught.

The recent invasion by Russia follows a period of economic growth and prosperity for Ukraine, which had flourished since it declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The country had an association agreement with the EU signed in 2017 and had hoped to join NATO too. It is clear that President Zelensky is determined to defend Ukraine’s hard-won independence and to see it recover from the Russian incursion.

The People Of The UK Show They Care

Here in the UK, it is hard to sit by and do nothing as these dreadful events unfold and it is heart-warming to see how communities and individuals have risen to the task of providing aid to those suffering in Ukraine. From local collections of warm clothing, toys and blankets for those fleeing their homes with nothing but what they can carry, through to local schools organising fundraising events, such as non-uniform days with a blue and yellow theme, we as a nation are trying our best to show that we care.

Indeed, the Ukrainian flag itself has become a symbol of hope, defiance, and bravery, in the face of a powerful threat. Charitable organisations such as the DEC and the Red Cross are doing vital work to help those displaced by the war, and by donating to support these efforts, we can all feel less helpless in these dark times.

Hope For A Peaceful Future

Here at Andromeda Solutions, our thoughts and prayers go out to Ukraine, and its citizens, whether they are courageously fighting their invaders, or bravely travelling into the unknown as refugees. These wishes are joined with our hope that the situation will soon be resolved, and that the Ukrainian people can start to rebuild their lives in peace.

Slava Ukraini!

Multi Factor Authentication with Microsoft 365

Posted on by Peter

We are living in a time of unprecedented levels of cyber threats, and any wise organisation will be making it a priority to scrutinise their current security protocols. After all, with recent high profile cyber-attacks targeting everything from local councils and educational establishments, through to large utilities providers, no organisation can afford to remain complacent.

Fortunately, there are many great ways in which you can make your organisation more secure, and, even better, you don’t need to be a tech genius to implement them. Simply upgrading to the Microsoft 365 suite for your company can provide valuable cyber security tools, including the ability to enable multi factor authentication.

What Is Multi Factor Authentication?

A popular security buzzword, multi factor authentication is a means of providing access to your systems that requires more than one method of identification or verification. Such methods usually fall under three categories (“something you know”, “something you have”, or “something you are”), and, in practice, this means that instead of simply entering a password in order to gain access to your company’s files and data, a user will also be asked to verify their identity by providing extra details. This can take the form of a fingerprint scan (as seen in many mobile devices), or entering a unique, one-time code sent by text message to an authorised number. In this way, your systems are far offered far greater protection than a password and username combination alone can provide.

The Benefits Of Microsoft 365 Multi Factor Authentication

When you enable Microsoft Authenticator on Office 365, you can enjoy all the security benefits that multi factor authentication can offer. This useful app is extremely quick and easy to use, and is perfectly suited to modern working life. When you or your team wish to access your work account, the first step will be to enter your username and password as normal. The next step will be to open up the Authenticator app on a smartphone and see the six-figure code which has been generated just for you. Enter this number too, and you will have successfully verified your identity and be able to access your work account. This is because your smartphone meets the criteria of “something you have”, which, coupled with the username and password log-in component (“something you know”), comprises an effective multi factor authentication process.

A Smart Move

It’s clear, then, that opting for Microsoft Authenticator with Office 365 is a straightforward and smart means of helping to protect your organisation, by providing a more rigorous and secure log in method. Alongside other cyber security measures, using this app can help to provide the valuable protection your organisation needs in today’s world.
