Akamai Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a workforce multifactor authentication service that strengthens organizations' security postures by providing strong secondary authentication to cloud, on-premises, web-based, SaaS, and IaaS applications—in addition to the existing primary authentication, such as the identity provider (IdP) system.

Akamai MFA leverages FIDO2 standards enabling users to authenticate securely to protected resources with the Akamai MFA mobile app that transforms existing smartphones into phone security keys.

It also empowers users by offering them a frictionless authentication process with the familiar experience of push notifications and many other secondary authentication methods.

Akamai MFA integrates with other Akamai solutions such as Enterprise Application Access and Secure Internet Access Enterprise, providing a foundation for Zero Trust security.
