Why is multi-factor authentication a cornerstone of user identity verification?

10. August 2026, 10:49

Because most security incidents do not begin with a sophisticated attack.

They begin with a compromised identity.

Attackers today do not just target systems.

They target people and their access rights.

And this is precisely where MFA comes into its own, as a mechanism that determines who is actually who.

It is one of the few security measures that works even when human error occurs.

Stolen passwords, phishing, carelessness.

MFA significantly reduces the impact of human error, which remains the most common cause of cyber security breaches.

Without MFA, there can be no talk of long-term protection today.

At Z+M Group, we view MFA as one of the key pillars of cyber security. This is one of the reasons why we collaborate with the GITRIX platform, which builds security on identity management, not on passwords.

If you’re currently thinking about cyber security solely in terms of technology, perhaps now is the right time to start by asking:

How well do you protect your users’ identities?
