There is no magic bullet to solve all security needs. Hackers will actively look at ways to break it even if one existed, just as security companies create more and more solutions to improve the chances of better defending against threats. This chapter discusses when and when not to use different forms of multifactor authentication (MFA). We will also look at some websites for up-to-date information about MFA and new threats.
