title: Multi-factor Authentication in Microsoft 365
description: "Everyday, your staff across Australia receive phishing emails impersonating Microsoft. This recent proliferation of social engineering and human hacking has seen a drastic increase in emails targeting user identities and credentials - particularly around Office 365.

The layered approach to multi-factor authentication in Microsoft 365 gives data a higher level of protection against data breaches that traditional username and password combinations cannot provide."
