Are you as protected as you should be? Maybe it's time for you to re-evaluate your MFA. As a follow-up, explore this eBook to learn more about Silverfort's Unified Identity Protection approach to MFA and gain insight into how to assess your existing protections and relative risk exposure.

In the same manner, if attackers can move laterally in your environment by providing compromised credentials to command line access tools, it no longer matters that you have MFA protection for RDP and desktop login.

The Paradigm Shift: From Traditional MFA to Unified Identity Protection #. The gap that we've described stems from how traditional MFA is designed and implemented.

The key limitation is that MFA solutions today plug into the authentication process of each individual resource, so if the software that performs this authentication doesn't support MFA - as in AD command line access tools - there can be no protection point blank.

Silverfort pioneers the first Unified Identity Protection platform that can extend MFA to any resource, regardless of it natively supports MFA or not.

By moving from MFA protection at the resource level to MFA protection on the directory level, the blind spot adversaries are abusing for years is finally resolved and secured.
