MFA Operations Playbook
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 operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
