It's already proven that passwords are the weakest link in security architecture. The key is multi-factor authentication (MFA) that adds a layer of security to protect against data breach. While using MFA, users provide extra information or factors when they access corporate applications, networks, and servers.1. What are some of the biggest trends and changes happening in the multifactor authentication solutions arena?MFA is a great control method implemented to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to critical intellectual property and personally identifiable information. It gained traction because cyberthreats such as phishing attacks and credential thefts became more common. However, I do not see a lot of organizations having a better response to MFA. MFA can be best explained by how the bank systems are using it. These advanced systems are capable to prove an individual's identity and authenticity by detecting location. It also uses a digital forensic fingerprint to identify the user device, browser, regularly accessed network and location. If an unusual login is detected, it invokes a challenge response authentication approach--a family of The Growing Need for Multifactor Authentication IN MY OPINIONBy Waqas Akkawi, Chief Information Security Officer, SIRVA WorldwideCAll organizations will need to go passwordless and I could see that happening in the next three years
