🤔 Is Multifactor Authentication (MFA) the ultimate protection for identities? ✳️ We cannot underestimate the importance of implementing MFA as an additional protection layer to access applications or data. However, you cannot assume that MFA will work magically and protect you from every identify threat. These are some of the things that you have to keep into account: ✅ Research what MFA solution better supports your needs. Primarily, you should implement a solution that is phishing-resistant and prevents user fatigue. ✅ MFA must be enforced (not optional) as people will prefer the path of least resistance (so the bad actors). ✅ If you allow exceptions like the infamous break-glass accounts or non-person accounts, it is your responsibility to implement additional controls and monitoring that should effectively handle these exceptions. Ensure you periodically reassess the scenarios and reasons to identify potential sprawl or bypass of the MFA control. Good luck, and yes MFA is a great control if implemented appropriately. 🤞 #cybersecurity #cyberawareness #cloudsecurity #cloud #SaaS #security #IAM #MFA #IdG #PAM

Multifactor Authentication Is Not Enough to Protect Cloud Data: "The biggest lesson learned is that threat actors do not need to employ sophisticated techniques. Targeting the low-hanging fruit — in this case, insecure credentials — can be achieved with little effort from the threat actor but provides ample opportunities." Don't be the low hanging fruit- call Idenhaus Consulting today to see how you can get ahead of the cybersecurity curve.

Google Cloud said systems with weak or no credentials were the top initial access vector, accounting for 47% of cloud environment attacks during the first six months of the year while misconfigurations accounted for 30% of attacks. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) could have defended against the breaches at UHG, Snowflake, and others - but is still not being deployed. #google #googlesecurity #MFA #cybersecurity

Managed Cyber Security Services Just because it’s in the cloud doesn’t mean it’s safe. Cloud security is the practice of protecting cloud-based applications, data, and infrastructure from cyber-attacks. https://lnkd.in/dCxFyrr3 #cyber #security #serivces #solution #cloud #network #usa
