claimArt Gilliland states that adaptive authentication will replace static multi-factor authentication (MFA) by dynamically adjusting access controls based on real-time signals such as user behavior, location, and device health.
claimIdentity security is evolving beyond traditional single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to include continuous monitoring before, during, and after authentication.
perspectiveMark Bowling, VP of Security Response Services at ExtraHop, asserts that organizations must adopt stronger authentication methods, specifically MFA and IAM tools that monitor credential usage patterns, to combat upcoming traditional fraud.
claimCybercriminals will deploy sophisticated social engineering tactics in 2025, using AI to bypass security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA).
claimGary Orenstein, chief customer officer at Bitwarden, suggests that the most effective way to combat AI-enhanced social engineering threats is through layered security, which includes passwordless solutions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and continuous employee education.
claimDavid Wiseman asserts that siloed identity management tools and traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) tools are no longer sufficient to address the rapid pace of AI adoption and manipulation.
perspectiveAnia Kowalczuk, VP of customer trust at MongoDB, predicts that organizations will adopt multi-factor authentication processes beyond passwords and fingerprints, such as behavioral analysis or contextual cues, to confirm user identity.
perspectiveSpencer Parker (Chief Product Officer at iVerify) argues that mobile devices should not be used for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) because if a surveillance software provider's source code is leaked, cybercriminals could gain access to authentication tokens displayed on screens.
