An inside look at MFA adoption and the authenticators that influence it
The enterprise security landscape is characterized by two contrasting trends, according to Okta's annual study of billions of anonymized authentications. Organizations are maintaining the steady adoption of traditional defenses while rapidly shifting toward advanced security standards.
The analysis reveals that while overall multi-factor authentication (MFA) adoption within the workforce context (employees accessing apps and tools) has reached 70%, organizations are also making a critical shift: The adoption of phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication has grown by 63%, rising from 8.6% to 14.0% in one year.
