Security breaches caused by compromised passwords are driving IBM i shops to implement stronger user authentication practices, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Many regulatory standards—such as PCI DSS, GDPR, and CCPA—also require user authentication techniques found in multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor authentication (2FA) systems. And governmental entities such as the United States government are mandating MFA protection be used for critical systems.

Depending on which regulatory or governmental entities cover your industry, you may soon need to implement an IBM i multi-factor authentication system.

This on-demand webinar provides several considerations and best practices for evaluating and implementing MFA on IBM I, including:

• What is MFA and how does it protect my IBM i?
• MFA versus SFA & 2FA
• Possible pitfalls when implementing MFA
• IBM i best practices for MFA
