MFA Fatigue, SS7 Exploits, and Attack Kits: Future-proofing Your MFA

Identity-based attacks are growing in potency and frequency: IDSA reported in their 2024 survey that 91% of organizations experienced identity-based attacks. While multifactor authentication has been available for years, most implementations are weak and do not provide true phishing resistance. By future-proofing your MFA you can defend against emerging attacks, strengthen your authentication posture, and authenticate users, devices, and applications … without ripping a replacing your existing systems. The benefits? Lower costs, happier end users, and fewer support calls.

What Attendees Will Learn:

How current MFA attacks have evolved in potency and ease of execution.
How to augment MFA solutions with robust credential management based on FIDO and PKI.
How to achieve what CISA calls “phishing-resistant MFA,” with your existing solution.
How to deploy and manage strong authentication processes across people, machines and applications without replacing existing systems.

Who Should Attend:

CISOs
IAM leaders
Security strategists
Authentication engineers
IAM practitioners responsible for designing and deploying next-generation MFA solutions.
