Buy vs. Build: How SendGrid Implemented 2FA Using Authy

Building any new application or service today requires you must have a focus on security.

Relying solely on a username and password would be like fitting a propeller engine on the latest Boeing aircraft, it's utterly inadequate for the safety of your customers. But security software is very complex and very risky to build yourself. Do you develop your own or do you buy it from a vendor?

SendGrid is the leading cloud based email delivery service, sending over 25 billion emails each month for Internet and mobile-based customers. In the words of product manager Jensen Stava, “Security is crucial to email, because email has traditionally been heavily exploited. Spammers and phishers have been around for a very long time”.
