Deploying multi factor authentication solutions across a diverse user base can indeed pose challenges, but solutions like Protectimus make the process smoother. One common hurdle is user resistance, especially among less tech-savvy employees. We addressed this with comprehensive training sessions and clear communication about the security benefits. Compatibility issues with older devices were another obstacle, but Protectimus offers a variety of token types, including software-based and hardware options, ensuring inclusivity. Gradual rollout, starting with high-risk accounts, allowed us to identify and resolve issues early, making the transition manageable for everyone.
I'm a big fan of hardware tokens for MFA. We use YubiKeys, which require physical presence to authenticate. It's been a game-changer for our sensitive operations. The initial cost was a barrier, but the security benefits have proven invaluable. The downside is managing lost or stolen tokens.
