After a major data breach, a company mandates that employees use their passwords, a smart card, and a biometric scan to access the company's systems. This security measure is an example of which authentication method?
- Biometric Authentication
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
This security measure is an example of "Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)." MFA requires users to provide two or more authentication factors (in this case, a password, a smart card, and a biometric scan) to gain access, making it more secure than single-factor authentication.
