MFA effectively secures access to the company network, systems and applications: Authorized persons confirm their identity with several security factors:
1. Factor
Something you know – usually the password.
2. Factor
Something you have: For example, a smartphone or a hardware token.
3. Factor
Something that you are: Biometric factors such as fingerprints or FaceID
Only the authorized person with access has all the factors at his disposal. This ensures that only this person can log in.
Therefore, even with a stolen password a hacker cannot access your data and systems.
