Want Better MFA Adoption? Look at How Game Studios Do It.
Futurum Group, Monday, November 2nd, 2026
A Futurum Group podcast panel discusses what enterprise security can learn from gaming, including MFA incentives and account recovery risks.
In Security Boulevard Podcast episode 55, Futurum Group analysts and Boss Rush Media co-founder Corey Dirrig discuss gaming cybersecurity.
The panel says game studios run serious product-side security such as anti-cheat, anti-fraud and DDoS engineering with providers like Cloudflare, Akamai and Fastly, separate from corporate IT.
They describe console accounts as identity anchors and note PlayStation Network support calls that unlocked accounts without the second factor, showing MFA is only as strong as its recovery path.
They also highlight how games reward players for enabling MFA with in-game items, aligning user and platform interests.
