Times are changing. Too many businesses still rely on username and password combinations\u2014the simplest, oldest form of authentication\u2014to secure their credentials. It turns out, passwords aren\u2019t very secure at all. \u00a0Many organizations are looking to modernize their Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions and practices through Multifactor Authentication (MFA).<\/p>\n

A fundamental part of organizational information security, MFA adds an additional step (or factor) to the authentication process. Typically the additional factor involves pairing something the user knows, such as username and password, with an action or something the user has, such as an SMS message to their phone, an email, or a token.<\/p>\n

In order to do that, IT workers, CIOs, and CISOs need to conduct extensive research to correctly plan, assess, and deploy the right solution for their organization. With that in mind, we\u2019ve compiled a list of the 4 best buyer\u2019s resources for evaluating Multifactor Authentication solutions. Since each organization needs a tool to match up with their own specific use cases, these resources allow researchers to sift through solutions that satisfy a wide range of MFA requirements.<\/p>\n
