HOW ATTACKERS WORK AROUND MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has become a common security and compliance measure for many enterprises. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide more than one form of authentication, such as a one-time code sent to their mobile device or email. However, even with MFA in place, there are still vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. In this article, we will discuss some of the common MFA vulnerabilities that you should be aware of.

MFA has been deployed to prevent common types of credential-based cyberattacks and is an important security measure that can protect accounts from unauthorized access. However, it is essential to be aware of the vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers and take steps to harden your security processes to eliminate credential-based attacks. Leveraging a cybersecurity mesh framework can eliminate the risk associated with traditional MFA that can be defeated by attackers.
