MFA is an authentication method where a user is granted access to a system only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism. The process typically involves presenting something you know (like a password), something you have (like a security token or a mobile device), and something you are (like biometrics).
The Importance of MFA:
Why is MFA so crucial in the current digital landscape?
1. Reduced Risk of Fraud: By adding additional layers of security, MFA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to execute successful attacks.
2. Improved Data Security: MFA is a protective measure that ensures personal and business-related data safety. With each authentication factor introduced, the chance of a successful data breach diminishes drastically.
3. Regulatory Compliance: In many industries, implementing MFA is a good practice and a compliance requirement. This is especially true in sectors that deal with sensitive information, like healthcare, finance, and insurance.
