Akamai MFA is a multi-factor authentication solution that leverages FIDO2, the strongest standards-based authentication method available, via a smartphone app. No physical security key is required. End-to-end cryptography and a sealed MFA challenge/response flow make the authentication process unphishable and confidential.

This high-security authentication method is coupled with the frictionless user experience of a smartphone push, removing the need for costly and cumbersome hardware keys. Deployed on the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform, Akamai MFA is built with proven scale, resilience, and performance. It integrates with Akamai’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and secure web gateway (SWG) solutions, providing a foundation for Zero Trust security.
