When you need virtual private network security, it's time to stop depending on one time password devices. OTP token devices can be cumbersome to carry, and if you forget the device you no longer have the security you need when you want to work remotely. Your business depends on having a secure network for you to work on, and for customers to purchase your goods online. SMS security is a safe and effective alternative to OTP devices, and one that is easier for everyone to use.


With growing online security concerns, it's necessary to use strategies to combat the ever improving online hackers who want to get into your database of customers and wreak havoc with the data. With Trumpia's software solutions, you don't need to develop an app just for OTP. In fact, you can use the SMS that is enabled in every smartphone and regular phone to provide security for you.


When you run a business, the last thing you need is a reputation for allowing hackers access to your customer database. While online shopping is incredibly popular, if customers know that you have been the victim of a data breach, they are much less likely to purchase your goods using the internet. With the internet being one of the most popular ways people shop for goods, your reputation as a data secure company is essential.


Is SMS Texting Secure?

The short answer is yes, SMS texting is a secure way to communicate sensitive information on the internet. Information you provide is encrypted while in the air by your network provider. While this doesn't mean that SMS texting is completely hazard free, it is a more effective and safe alternative to unencrypted or non-secure internet connections.


By using the Trumpia interface, there is no need for users to download anything new to their devices in order to access your system. This allows for maximum security, without having to depend on additional devices. This is the new way to provide a secure network, where your customer data will be safe from theft. The general public already knows how to use SMS, as all banks use it and it's a familiar way for people to interact with your business.


Easy Integration to Enable Two Factor Authentication

It's easy to integrate with Trumpia's API to enable two factor authentication, creating added security when individuals want to log into your network. When you have employees that need to log into your system remotely, a two factor authentication system will provide an extra layer of security. The employee will provide their user name and password to begin logging in, and then they will be asked a question that only they have the answer two. This greatly reduces the chance of a hacker getting into the system.


When you run a business, you need solutions that are going to work for you. Trumpia uses an easy to follow interface that gives you the control over your business. You can create specific restrictions for employees, allowing access only when it is necessary. By limiting the ways in which employees can interact with your network, you are creating an even more secure database from which to work within. The more employees you have engaging with your database, the more likely there will be a data breach. To protect customer information, knowing who is accessing the system at all times is essential.


With remote access constantly necessary, the only way to truly protect your network is through the use of SMS security for VPN security. With the constantly changing methods used by hackers everywhere, this is the safest alternative when you or your employees must log into your network remotely. While your data may be breached eventually, it is much harder with Trumpia's software in place for your data to be stolen by a criminal. It's an easy solution to an ever growing problem. Your business matters, and using Trumpia is going to give you the resource you need to keep your data and your business secure from outside sources.
