By docubank_expert Comments
Criminal attacks might happen to a company from outside sources, or from the inside. Most of the time employees pose a great risk and raise the likelihood of a cyber-attack by their daily routines. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially vulnerable to these IT security breaches, as they may lack sophisticated methods and monitoring systems used by large corporates.  Also in some cases, they may lack the understanding of nature of incoming threats.

What is one-time-password?

By docubank_expert Comments
In connection with the previous article about the importance of strong passwords and 2-factor authentications we felt the need to dig a little deeper into the topic of OTP (One Time Passwords), and write about time based one-time password (TOTP) and HMAC based one-time password (HOTP) algorithms. As we explained earlier, during 2-factor authentications there are 2 tokens to be provided: one we are all familiar with is the username and the password, while the other one is a secret token that is not known to the public. When it comes to the 2nd factor of authentication mechanisms, usually OTP is used as a protective mechanism.
