Advanced MFA Mastery
RCCE students will learn multi-factor authentication technologies, deployment strategies, and attack resistance including TOTP, FIDO2/WebAuthn, push notifications, hardware tokens, and biometric authentication. RCCE students will learn to evaluate MFA methods by security strength and usability, deploy MFA across enterprise applications and remote access systems, configure MFA policies in identity providers, detect and respond to MFA bypass techniques including SIM swapping, MFA fatigue attacks, adversary-in-the-middle phishing, and real-time phishing proxies. The course covers MFA enrollment management, recovery procedures, and migration strategies from weaker to stronger authentication factors. This advanced mastery course challenges experienced practitioners with complex scenarios, expert-level techniques, and nuanced decision-making. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to handle the most demanding situations in this domain, developing the expertise expected of senior security professionals. Students tackle multi-layered problems that require synthesizing knowledge across multiple disciplines.
