– 14:00 – 15:00 CEST | Speaker: Klaus Möller (DFN-CERT)
“Introduce MFA to make your network more secure, everybody does it”, sure, but a plethora of acronyms and products seem to make a simple process more complex and lengthier than it needs to be.
Based on the experience acquired working on projects within the German National Research and Education Network DFN, this talk will give a short introduction to Multi-Factor-Authentication (MFA) and some of the acronyms and standards. It will expand to cover use-cases for MFA and how to avoid some of the more common pitfalls when implementing MFA at universities and research institutions.
