Organizations need to protect user accounts from malicious attackers. IAM expert Marco Fanti offers tips organizations can use when implementing MFA.
The human element is the weakest link in security. Attackers target users through a variety of social engineering and phishing tactics. To strengthen security for user accounts and prevent account takeover, multifactor authentication is key.
MFA improves security by adding other factors alongside passwords that users need to know, provide or be when logging in. MFA factors include one-time passwords sent through text, email or an authenticator app; tokens; biometrics; and behavioral analysis. By adding more than one factor to authentication, organizations reduce the potential damage caused by compromised passwords and accounts.
