Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a robust authentication method that necessitates users to present two or more verification factors when attempting to access data, resources, or systems. Within an identity and access management (IAM) policy, employing MFA offers superior security compared to relying solely on a single password. It has become an indispensable security measure for organizations seeking to bolster protection for their sensitive data and information.
MFA requires individuals to validate their identity using multiple factors, such as passwords in combination with additional elements like Google/Microsoft authenticator, one-time passwords (OTP) via SMS or email, push notifications, and more. These additional layers of verification are essential for gaining entry to company resources, applications, servers, windows desktops, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
