The 2022 Verizon Data Breach investigations report found 82% of all breaches involved social engineering, with threat actors phishing targets via email over 60% of the time. Passwords were one of the leading causes of all data breaches every year for 15 years. So, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which is part of identity and access management is essentially now a best practice. MFA augments the traditional username/password security model by requiring users to provide additional factors to prove their identity. This helps secure users and organizations against various password-related attacks. In many cases, MFA is also mandated by compliance requirements. MFA requires the user to present more than one of the following three pieces of evidence: knowledge (something only the user knows), possession (something only the user has), and inherence (something only the user is).
