Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Passwords are no longer enough. Implement and secure MFA layers to block credential compromises.
Multi-factor authentication is one of the most effective security controls. However, attackers have developed techniques like SMS interception and MFA fatigue to bypass these layers.
Securing the MFA Layer
- App-Based authenticators: Transitioning from vulnerable SMS codes to authenticator apps.
- Hardware Tokens: Implementing physical FIDO2 keys for high-value access roles.
- Fatigue awareness: Training staff to report unexpected authentication prompts rather than clicking approve to stop alerts.
