MFA Fatigue: A Growing Risk for Businesses. How to Prevent it.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is widely recognized as a crucial security measure for businesses. By requiring additional verification beyond a password, MFA helps prevent unauthorized access and protects sensitive corporate data. However, cybercriminals have adapted their tactics, and one of the most effective attack methods they now use is “MFA fatigue” using the well-known strategy of repetition many times, designed to exploit human frailty.

For businesses, failing to address MFA fatigue can lead to serious security breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. This article explores how MFA fatigue attacks work, why they pose a risk to organizations, and how businesses can strengthen their s.defence

MFA fatigue is also known as MFA bombing, occurs when an attacker repeatedly triggers MFA requests. The goal is to frustrate or confuse the victim into approving an authentication request through sheer exhaustion or frustration, granting the attacker access to corporate accounts and systems.

The article explains how this MFA bombing can grind users down, and how organisations can be vigilant in providing strategies to counter this.
