Rethinking MFA: New Approaches for Stronger Authentication

Watch the recording


MFA is the de-facto standard of user authentication. Almost every business uses it. Yet, it too has its flaws and can be bypassed. Watch the webinar recording to learn about the latest MFA attacks, how to overcome MFA fatigue, and what the future will bring for secure authentication.

Say Goodbye to MFA Fatigue: Modernizing Secure Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has long been recommended as the best way of verifying user identity and credentials. Not anymore – in 2022, we saw secure authentication methods being circumvented by criminals.

Exhaustion attacks (MFA Fatigue, MFA Spamming), prompt-bombing, and Adversary-in-The-Middle (AiTM) phishing quickly gained popularity among cybercriminals and now pose a serious threat to businesses relying on MFA.

In our webinar Rethinking MFA: New Approaches for Stronger Authentication, we focused on the latest MFA attacks and how to protect against them. We explained how the criminals have been working to bypass the most commonly used secure authentication methods and showed how these attacks occur. We also talked about what mitigations can be put in place and what the future of secure authentication looks like.
