The cloud is under attack – and dinCloud acknowledges the threat!
40% say they are “Less Confident in Storing Data in the Cloud”

dinCloud Responds: Mandatory 2-Factor on All Accounts
Last Friday, dinCloud automatically put mandatory 2-Factor on ALL accounts The purpose was twofold: (1) Secure our cloud tenants against “sloppy” neighbors and (2) continue our efforts to restore confidence in the cloud.
The first point is relevant because by putting in mandatory 2-Factor on all administrative accounts (see image #2), we ensure that all admins that are utilizing our powerful cloud orchestration tool are legitimate licensed users. As security specialists, we know that users, once inside the “perimeter,” can be your worst enemy (Ref: Bloomberg on Internal Threats). In addition, it’s been established that passwords alone are simply NOT a legitimate mechanism to secure resources anymore (Ref: BusinessInsider – 90% of Passwords Vulnerable).
