"Fortresstify" your company's defenses with the right multifactor authentication (MFA) tool. This article dives deep into the world of MFA, exploring its features, key providers, and why cultivating a strong relationship with your chosen vendor is crucial. Discover how MFA can become your...
Today, IT (Information Technology) security teams responsible for user identity and access management (IAM) are turning to more secure multifactor authentication.Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires users to provide two verifiable credentials to access online resources, while MFA uses multiple authentication methods.
Develop and Deploy Security Policies

Informal, un-rationalized, ad hoc policies are ineffective because they do not explicitly outline responsibilities or compliance requirements, and they are rarely comprehensive. Without a strong lifecycle to keep policies up to date and easy to use, end users will ignore or work around poorly...

Be More Secure Without Passwords: Microsoft Embraces Passwordless Authentication and FIDO2
Tech Note: Security
Microsoft is working to usher in the era of passwordless multi-factor authentication as passwordless API becomes an official W3C standard. Strong authentication using biometrics and FIDO2-compatible hardware is the better, and more secure, method of multi-factor authentication.

Quit Banking on Passwords to Protect Your Money; or, Why FIDO Is a Reasonable Alternative
Note: Industry Coverage
Passwords have become increasingly insecure over the last few years, and yet we continue to use as the go-to authentication method for even our most sensitive online transactions. However, Fast Identity Online (FIDO) is a reasonable alternative already being adopted by major tech companies.
Multifactor authentication is a similar matter: it adds some extra rigmarole to the authentication process (a big reason why users hate it), and in doing so, does add some security. But like biometrics, MFA is not really as secure as we’d all hoped. Personally, I recommend the use of MFA where the option exists.

Assess and Govern Identity Security
Blueprint: Security
Security leaders view modernizing identity security as too daunting and prefer to focus on narrower technology challenges. This limited focus is reactive and, in the long run, more expensive. Building an identity security architecture will drive the modernization of identity security.
Strong identity security and governance are the keys to the zero-trust future.
