Two factor (2fa) or multi factor authentication is used within many organisations. Often as an authentication tool on top of a password authentication. Developments in this are based on both a functional and risk appetite. Functional where user-friendliness must be improved; from risk where the password or an authentication factor such as SMS has had its day.
With developments such as FIDO2 U2F , it becomes possible to use the hardware-based multi factor authentication devices such as the Yibikey in a simple manner. Windows Hello for business also offers new possibilities that make it easier for the user in particular.
Continuous authentication is possible through behavioural analysis. Here, based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, it is determined whether a user is really the user.
