Description
Multifactor Authentication (MFA) adds a critical layer of defence against cyber threats by requiring users to verify their identity using two or more factors. This short, easy-to-understand module breaks down the core elements of MFA—something you know, something you have, and something you are.
Through relatable scenarios and clear explanations, employees learn the importance of MFA and how it prevents unauthorised access to systems and sensitive data. The module emphasises the importance of maintaining strong password habits, implementing secure device management, and being aware of biometric security.
Perfect for onboarding, general security awareness, and reinforcing identity security across teams. Delivered in SCORM 1.2 and MP4 formats.
