MFA is Better than Passwords… Right?
We’re told that multi-factor authentication is more secure than passwords, but in truth most MFA is susceptible to the same old threats, such as phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks. In fact, the widely championed advice to “use MFA, any MFA” could lead to a false sense of security and even more data breaches.
In this episode, Andy sits down with Roger Grimes (Data-Driven Defense Evangelist, KnowBe4) to find out why MFA is vulnerable to exploitation, whether some MFAs are better than others, and what the future of secure authentication might look like.
Key points
- What is multi-factor authentication and how has it changed over time?
- Is MFA more secure than passwords, and how can it be bypassed?
- Are some forms of MFA more secure than others?
- What does the future of user authentication look like?
