Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security system that requires multiple methods of authentication from independent sources to verify the user's identity. Coursera's MFA catalogue teaches you about this key aspect of cybersecurity and data protection. You'll learn the different types of authentication factors - something you know, something you have, something you are - and how to implement them effectively for maximum security. Understand the role of MFA in mitigating cyber threats, its applications in various industries, and the best practices for designing and implementing MFA systems. This skill is essential for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, network administrators, and anyone tasked with protecting sensitive data.
