Benefits of Multifactor Authentication | KnowledgeNile
Purpose and Needs for Multifactor Authentication
Security
The effect of the authentication system is majorly determined by the number of layers merged into the system. While each authentication method has some strengths and weaknesses, organizations that use different factors are mostly stronger than those who use only one factor.
Compliance
Every organization has some level of local, state, or federal agreement to which they must have to follow. Many guidelines specify that organizations should utilize multi-factor authentication under some circumstances, like connecting from specific locations. There is always pressure on organizations to maintain agreement to ease audit findings and avoid other penalties.
Usability
If you follow best practices for security and make each one different and complex, most technical people get to struggle with the task. With multi-factor authentication, there are some chances to remove the use of passwords overall by securely authenticating users via other methods.
