Abstract

This research investigates the efficacy and challenges of Multifactor Authentication (MFA) in enhancing cybersecurity within organizational settings. Employing a qualitative design, this study integrates a comprehensive literature review with case studies to examine the deployment and impact of MFA technologies. Key findings reveal that over 57% of global businesses have adopted MFA, significantly reducing unauthorized access and breaches by 99.9% when correctly implemented. However, challenges such as user resistance, implementation costs, and the complexity of MFA systems persist, affecting overall effectiveness and adoption rates. This research concludes that while MFA substantially improves security, its success hinges on strategic deployment and user compliance. The significance of this research lies in its potential to guide organizations in refining their cybersecurity measures and in informing policy on secure authentication practices, ultimately contributing to enhanced organizational and data security in an increasingly digital world.
