Episode 80: Multi-Factor Authentication and Implementation

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) significantly strengthens identity verification by requiring more than one authentication factor. In this episode, we break down the different types of factors—something you know, have, are, do, or where you are—and how they’re combined for robust protection. We explore methods such as SMS codes, authenticator apps, smart cards, biometrics, and physical tokens. You’ll also learn how to implement MFA in various environments, manage usability challenges, and respond to bypass attempts. For CISSPs, mastering MFA is critical to securing both cloud and on-premise access paths.
