Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides clear value to organizations pursuing cybersecurity initiatives. It provides effective identity security and dramatically reduces the risk associated with credential-based attacks and malicious insiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, implementing MFA consistently across the enterprise tech stack is not always easy. It\u2019s an even bigger challenge for managed service providers (MSPs) who need to adopt different policies across a portfolio of client organizations under management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How MFA Enhances Security for MSPs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MFA adds an additional layer of security that helps complex organizations meet strict security standards. For MSPs responsible for extending their infrastructure to client organizations, the ability to secure each tenant according to its organizations\u2019 unique needs is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MFA as Part of a Comprehensive Access Control Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MFA plays an important role in access control. Before users sign into corporate accounts or interact with IT assets, their identities must be authenticated. Password-only authentication isn\u2019t strong enough to secure network access because it doesn\u2019t provide identity-level information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A truly robust authentication process should rely on more than one factor. Some of the factors that MFA technologies often use include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
