Ep. 90 Multifactor Authentication and the Federal Government

During the interview, Bryan Rosensteel applies his considerable federal experience in identification to help you understand where basic MFA can be applied and when to move on to more appropriate methods of identification.

Instead of just a mere six-digit code, you may want to use a physical device like a CAC card to prove your identity. In cases like phone access where cards are not practical, you can take it to the next level. A person seeking identity verification can be identified by technology to know where you are, what kind of connection they are using if you are deploying a usual device, and even the time of day.

Federal systems are being attacked every day; it is best to understand some of the options; you must understand some of the variations on “strong” verification.
