Cybersecurity is not optional – Two-factor authentication is everyday practice in Finago Procountor

As criminals are searching for the easiest way into systems, a password alone no longer provides protection. In Finago Procountor, we have recognized this for a long time. That’s why two-factor authentication is already an integral part of our solution.

In a recent article, the Association of Finnish Accounting Firms reminded that criminals have managed to log into financial management systems using stolen passwords and even make payments from company accounts. Such cases clearly show that cybersecurity is no longer an optional add-on, but a critical part of business continuity.

“Two-factor authentication has been widely used in Finago’s products for a long time. However, technical measures alone are not enough. Comprehensive protection is achieved when every user understands the risks and the right ways to act. Cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility, both for software providers and users,” says Sakari Jorma, Chief Technology & Product Officer at Finago.

Two-factor authentication means that logging in requires more than just a password — an additional verification step, such as a phone confirmation, is also needed. This simple extra step makes it exponentially harder for criminals to gain access, protecting not only customer data but also the company’s operations.

Cybersecurity is never fully finished, but one thing is certain: trust is built by actions.

“We continue to invest in solutions that strengthen the security of the data managed through our software — now and in the future. We take care of our customers,” says Jorma.
