Although companies are offering more ways to authenticate such as legacy MFA solutions, these technologies are still easily exploitable with ‘MFA bombing,’ ‘man-in-the-middle,’ and other attacks. SecureAuth’s State of Authentication Report further validates that
it is time for organizations to move beyond legacy forms of MFAs and onto passwordless technologies.”
