The MFA Gaps Attackers are Still Exploiting

Attackers exploit gaps in multifactor authentication (MFA) coverage by using stolen credentials to access systems like virtual private networks (VPNs), remote desktop protocol (RDP), and Windows systems that lack MFA enforcement. Organizations often protect cloud applications while leaving on-premises and remote access points undefended. Addressing these blind spots requires comprehensive MFA deployment across all authentication entry points.

Why it matters: Security teams managing VPNs, RDP, and Windows systems need to assess whether MFA is enforced everywhere credentials are accepted, as attackers routinely compromise accounts protected by passwords alone and gain system access within hours.
