Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-factor authentication, or MFA, is a security measure requiring users to provide two or more different verification factors (such as a password and code from an app) to gain access. While a strong technical control, phishing attacks increasingly try to intercept MFA codes or trick users into approving fraudulent login attempts. Security awareness training reinforces the importance of MFA and how to use it securely.
