Practical MFA Workshop: Fast Track
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 practice-intensive course emphasizes applied skills through lab exercises, real-world scenarios, and production-realistic workflows. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn by doing, building muscle memory and practical confidence through repeated hands-on engagement. Students complete exercises that mirror actual workplace tasks, ensuring skills transfer directly to their professional roles.
