A Practical Path to MFA – How to Secure Every Single Account, One Step at a Time
Although multi-factor authentication (MFA) is at the top of the NACo cybersecurity priorities and best practices list, many counties find that MFA implementation is not straightforward. MFA can be an overwhelming project, especially with limited resources. There is a lot to consider, including selecting the right authentication methods to keep your county secure, while making sure employees, suppliers and citizens will use them.
Watch this webinar for a practical discussion on the path to go from passwords to MFA on every single account. Our panel will discuss:
- How to assess your current strategy and create an implementation plan
- Why stronger password controls may be a good starting point
- Why a communication strategy is essential to help with user adoption
- How to reduce time, costs and workload during implementation
So, whether you’re just starting to think about MFA or have already started implementation, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.
