Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Saner CVEM – Detailed Overview

Overview
As cyber threats evolve, securing access to enterprise systems has become a critical priority. One of the most effective and recommended methods for strengthening account security is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Saner CVEM supports MFA to add an additional layer of protection to user accounts, helping prevent unauthorized access—even in cases where passwords may be compromised.

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that requires users to verify their identity using two or more authentication factors before granting access. These factors may include:

• Something you know (e.g., a password or PIN)

• Something you have (e.g., a mobile phone or authentication app)

• Something you are (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition)

MFA significantly strengthens security by ensuring that access is granted only when multiple conditions are met.
