The Role of Modern Devices in Achieving Human-Centric Security
This blog post explores how Microsoft Surface devices implement a human-centric approach to security, delving into various attack methods and how Surface's innovative security features counteract them.
What is human-centric security?
A human-centric security model focuses on the behaviors and needs of individuals within an organization. It aims to protect identities and data while minimizing the effort required from employees. This approach is crucial as 74% of data breaches involve human error or manipulation, highlighting the need for security measures that consider how people interact with technology.
How do modern devices help prevent MFA fatigue attacks?
Modern devices can enhance security by simplifying the authentication process. By implementing passwordless authentication and biometric sign-in options, such as Windows Hello on Microsoft Surface devices, organizations can reduce the risk of MFA fatigue attacks. This approach empowers employees and minimizes the likelihood of them approving unauthorized authentication requests.
What measures can be taken to combat phishing attacks?
To combat phishing attacks, organizations should utilize devices with strong data encryption and intelligent threat monitoring. Features like BitLocker for data encryption and real-time protection through Microsoft Defender Antivirus help safeguard sensitive information. Additionally, proactive measures such as automatic updates ensure devices are equipped with the latest security features to defend against evolving threats.
