How does this relate to MFA? Well, multi-factor authentication ensures that the person sitting on the other<br />
side of the monitor is exactly who they say they are. By implementing MFA, organizations can secure<br />
their data so it cannot be accessed by any bad actor who has stolen logins and passwords. The<br />
technology giants have known about it <strong>for</strong> years.<br />
The recent research shows that the global size of the MFA market will grow from USD 11.1 billion in <strong>2021</strong><br />
to USD 23.5 billion by the end of 2026. However, many companies have previously recognized the<br />
pressing need <strong>for</strong> global MFA adoption in their organizations. Facebook, Google and Twitter were the<br />
first to implement this technology. Another, such as CA Technologies, Vasco Data Security International,<br />
RSA Security LLC or Symantec Corporation, anticipating in 2016, the growth of the market, just then<br />
began large investments in research and development in this area.<br />
My way or the highway<br />
There is no need to convince anyone about the effectiveness of MFA as the technology giants have<br />
already battle tested it. Google corporation has kept 85K employees from getting phished since 2017. A<br />
recent declaration proving that MFA is the ‘must have’, comes from Mark Risher, Sr Director of Product<br />
Management at Google. On May 6 <strong>2021</strong>, he in<strong>for</strong>med the media that soon Google account holders will<br />
be <strong>for</strong>ced to use multi- factor authentication if they still want to use the company's services.<br />
And you can't be surprised at all because, today no company network is no longer a secure castle that<br />
cannot be accessed by outsiders. On the contrary - the growing number of applications in the cloud,<br />
working from home and from unsecure networks means that every person who appears in our network<br />
must be treated as an intruder. This approach is called the zero trust security model where the key to<br />
effective data protection is making sure we know who the person sitting on the other side of the screen<br />
is. Without this certainty, no security measures are effective.<br />
A Google study found that simply adding a recovery phone number to an account prevents nearly 100%<br />
of automated bots attacks, 99% of mass phishing attacks, and 66% of targeted attacks.<br />
Too expensive, too hard<br />
So why is MFA - considered by experts to be one of the most effective methods of protecting the user<br />
against identity theft - yet still used on a handful of applications and not organization-wide?<br />
The main problem with the widespread adoption of MFA in public organizations and institutions is the<br />
complexity and costs. The implementation of multi-factor authentication throughout the entire<br />
organization, requires a lot of capital and time. The highly heterogeneous IT environments, to which it is<br />
difficult to match the right tools, are also a big obstacle.<br />
One of the approaches to cybersecurity is the user access security broker approach which simply adds<br />
MFA between the application and the user. The security broker is placed as an intermediary layer that<br />
blends into the application, giving full control not only over the authentication phase, but over the entire<br />
user session. Importantly, such action does not require any programming work. It frees from the vendor<br />
