In the center, a large blue shield with an orange checkmark symbolizes cybersecurity protection. Abstract wave-like background in soft blue and beige tones.

Phishing-resistant MFA strengthens identity protection by adding a security layer that prevents attackers from bypassing traditional MFA methods and scaling their attacks.  Over the years, phishing has evolved far beyond basic email lures. It has evolved into sophisticated adversary-in-the-middle attacks, which are not linked to more than 90% of successful breaches.  In this blog, we’ll […]
