Report – Multi-Factor Authentication Failing For Many Organizations

The report revealed several significant trends:

• Traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods are increasingly under attack. These include Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) attacks, account takeover (ATO) fraud, phishing, man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, credential stuffing and push attacks.
• Remote work continues to be the main driver for passwordless authentication, especially against the backdrop of the significant increase in phishing attacks in recent years.
• Organizations face serious security gaps due to insecure authentication methods based on secret-sharing.
• A decoupled, standards-based approach that provides interoperability helps organizations reduce complexity and is key to future passwordless adoption at scale.
