Experts Say MFA Is No Longer Enough For Enterprises
SC Media, Wednesday, October 9th, 2024
The UK's cyber watchdog says that companies need to be more mindful with how they handle their multi-factor authentication.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said companies can no longer rely on MFA as a blanket solution to their network security woes. The problem, say experts, is that in many cases attackers are now able to intercept MFA keys much in the same way they did passwords.
'Attackers have realized that many of the same social engineering techniques that tricked us into handing over passwords can also be updated to overcome some methods of MFA,' the NCSC said.
