What role does Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) play in Zero Trust?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) strengthens identity verification by requiring multiple authentication factors before granting access.

Zero Trust relies heavily on MFA because passwords alone are vulnerable to phishing and credential attacks.

MFA typically includes:

• Something you know (password or PIN)
• Something you have (OTP, hardware token, mobile app)
• Something you are (biometrics)

eMudhra’s SecurePass MFA also supports adaptive and risk-based authentication, enabling:

• Context-aware authentication
• Biometric authentication
• Certificate-based authentication
• Phishing-resistant MFA

This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and account compromise.
