What is Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to systems. These factors typically include something you know, have, or are.
MFA is a core component of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Zero Trust architectures.
What is MFA used for?
MFA is used to prevent unauthorized access, even if credentials are compromised. It significantly reduces the effectiveness of attacks such as Phishing, Credential Theft, and Brute Force Attack.
Organizations implement MFA to enforce Access Control, protect Critical Business Assets (CBA), and improve Security Posture.
