Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security process that adds an extra layer of protection by requiring users to verify their identity through two or more factors. These factors may include something you know (e.g., password), something you have (e.g., phone, email), or something you are (e.g., fingerprint, facial recognition).

MFA reduces the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring that customers handling sensitive data can create a more secure environment for their operations. Here’s how it benefits your system:

Preventing Unauthorized Access: Even if a password is compromised, MFA ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive information.
Securing Financial Data: In financial or transaction-based systems, MFA helps prevent fraud and tampering, safeguarding critical financial data.
Ensuring Compliance: MFA supports compliance with industry standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and ISO 17100. These regulations emphasize the protection of data and secure access control, helping you meet legal and regulatory requirements while building trust among team members, clients, and stakeholders.
