What's Multi-Factor Authentication and Why Should I Care?

MFA, sometimes referred to as two-factor authentication or 2FA, is a security enhancement that allows you to present two pieces of evidence – your credentials – when logging in to an account. Your credentials fall into any of these three categories: something you know (like a password or PIN), something you have (like a smart card), or something you are (like your fingerprint). Your credentials must come from two different categories to enhance security - so entering two different passwords would not be considered multi-factor.

During this webinar, you'll learn:
- Differences between various MFA tools and why they matter
- What makes MFA software weak or strong and what that means to you
- Tips on choosing the best MFA software for your company
- Why a strong human firewall is your best last line of defense
