3). WHAT IS MFA (2FA) Cyber KPI’s: What is Multi Factor Authentication (2 Factor Authorisation) and why should SMEs use it? Multi-factor authentication (MFA; two-factor authentication, or 2FA) is a multi-step account login process that requires users to enter more information than just a password. For example, along with the password, users might be asked to enter a code sent to their email, answer a secret question, or scan a fingerprint.
