In recent years, digital platforms have become very important in the business world, not to mention that many already consider them essential.

The use of collaborative tools through the cloud is revolutionizing and modernizing working methods, allowing simultaneous work on a document, shared directories with different access permissions and many other advantages that we all already know. But is our information safe on these platforms?

Digital platforms' popularity is continuously increasing, in the same way cyberattacks are becoming more common. Cybercriminals are continually looking for new ways to access our information, whether it's stealing our data, gaining access to our services, or extorting money from us. The ways in which they try to get our access can be different, the most common being spear phishing, CEO attack, ramsonware, phishing and malware. Cybercrime methods advance very quickly, and that is why the best solution is to protect ourselves with something that only and exclusively the user can have, that is, their own behavior.

Is our information save in this platforms?

There are many platforms that help us facilitate processes in a company and when using them we trust that our information is safe in it. But what security methods do they use? and, most important, how safe are these methods?

When we talk about security measures, it is inevitable that passwords come to mind. But given the increase in cyberattacks in recent years, it is clear that these methods are not enough and do not guarantee that company information is properly protected. More and more platforms know this and as much as they recommend more robust passwords (such as the use of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters), they are not enough and sometimes remembering these is a challenge for users.

Many of them are clear about it and that is why they opt for the double protection factor. We are increasingly accustomed to them, the most common being those that make use of one-time passwords (OTP).

It is becoming common for the platforms to send us codes to our mobile or email and cybercriminals know this. You encounter one more obstacle that makes it difficult for you to access the information you are looking for, since you will have to find out a second password as well. But this seems not to be enough, since, if they have managed to get hold of a password, which prevents them from getting a second?

One of the most popular platforms among companies such as Google Workspace, where countless companies store and exchange information, uses this type of access, code verification in its application.

Then, what is the safest way to access the platforms? Removing passwords. If there is never a code, that code cannot be stolen.

Passwordless access

Today there are methods without passwords, which offer us the highest level of security. This type of new security factors bet on being based on the behaviors or factors that make each human being unique. Learning from human behavior could in many cases end security breaches, since it allows to identify, eliminate and avoid risky behaviors.
