If you are in the logistics or shipping game like us at 2Ship, you know security is not just a corporate buzzword. It is essential for keeping your operations running smoothly without any nasty surprises. Protecting customer data and your own shipping accounts is just as important as getting the package to the door on time.

Today we are excited to chat about our latest logistics security features that amp up protection in a super user-friendly way. We are rolling out Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Max Failed Login Attempts, available for both users and administrators. These updates are designed to keep the bad guys out while letting your team get on with their work.

The Built-In Bouncer: Max Failed Login Attempts

First off, let’s talk about the max failed attempts update. Think of it as your account’s built-in bouncer. Administrators can now set a specific limit on how many times someone can mess up their login password before getting the boot. If a user hits that limit the system immediately locks the account and displays a clear message letting them know what happened. This puts an end to the endless guessing games that potential hackers or bots use to brute-force their way into systems.

The cool part is that these lockouts are not one-size-fits-all. You can configure the logistics security features to match your company culture. You can set it for a quick timeout, like 5 minutes to let a forgetful employee cool off, or make it a permanent lock until an admin steps in to manually reset things. This gives teams the flexibility to handle simple mistakes differently than genuine security threats.

Double the Defense: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

For those who want to level up even further, administrators can now mandate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for users. It is like adding a deadbolt to your front door. Even if someone guesses a password, they still cannot get in without the second key.

Administrators get to pick the options that work best for their team including email codes, SMS texts, or authenticator apps. We are not skimping on choices either as we support popular standard apps like Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. To ensure adoption, administrators can set a deadline for everyone to get their MFA sorted so no one is left dragging their feet.

Security Tailored to You

These tweaks are all about empowering small businesses and large enterprises to build a rock-solid security setup tailored to their needs. At 2Ship, we are all in on making management easier while cranking up protection.

By implementing these logistics security features, you ensure that your shipping data remains yours. Who wants to worry about potential breaches when you could be focusing on shipping success?
