Even those in information technology (or IT, our first acronym) would admit as much. But if you are an entrepreneur looking for tech support for small businesses you might get lost in the alphabet soup. Take cloud services, for example. There are many different types of cloud computing, including [cloud storage](https://www.theamegroup.com/cloud-services/), infrastructure as a service (or IaaS), platform as a service (or PaaS), and software as a service (or Saas).

Many technology companies and app-makers provide two-factor authentication that requires users to authenticate their identity over two devices. This is becoming more the norm and is a great foil for anyone trying to access accounts unauthorized. The process is usually really easy to use, but just remember to keep both your devices nearby when logging in--leaving your phone in the other room can be annoying!   **61% of data breaches used compromised credentials** [The AME Group](https://blog.theamegroup.com/author/the-ame-group) [Read More](https://blog.theamegroup.com/what-is-2fa) [5](https://blog.theamegroup.com/page/5) [6](https://blog.theamegroup.com/page/6) [7](https://blog.theamegroup.com/page/7) [8](https://blog.theamegroup.com/page/8) [9](https://blog.theamegroup.com/page/9) #### The AME Group - [About AME](https://www.theamegroup.com/company/about-ame/) - [Management](https://www.theamegroup.com/company/senior-management-team/) - [Values](https://www.theamegroup.com/company/values/) - [Partners](https://www.theamegroup.com/company/partners/) - [Blog](https://www.theamegroup.com/blog/) #### Services - [Managed Security Services](https://www.theamegroup.com/managed-security/) - [Managed IT Services](https://www.theamegroup.com/managed-services/) - [Cloud Services](https://www.theamegroup.com/cloud-services/) - [ERP Services](https://www.theamegroup.com/erp-services/) - [Software Development Services](https://www.theamegroup.com/software-development/) - [Private Cloud Hosting](https://www.theamegroup.com/private-cloud-hosting/) ### Subscribe to Monthly Technology and Security Newsletter [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/theamegroup) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/107749) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.instagram.com/yourtechnologysuccesspartner/) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.youtube.com/theamegroup)
