Abstract

In the era of advanced cyber-attacks and the growing digital inter-connectivity the traditional authentication methods do not guarantee a high security level. This research introduces an advanced multi-factor authentication (MFA) framework featuring resiliency, user-centricity, and adaptiveness, for modern cyber security systems hardening. The framework leverages biometric anti-spoofing methods, light-weight IoT-friendly protocols, and AI-powered behavioral analytics to mitigates usability limitations, phishing risks, and post-quantum attacks. Then a hybrid solution which combines MFAaaS with the ability to adapt to regulatory compliance is proposed to address the weaknesses of the current MFAaaS systems. We also conduct real-world simulations and case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in enterprise, healthcare and mobile environments. The results show that the context-based and adaptive MFA system effectively improves security posture without sacrificing access and usability. This study not only closes the void between academic investigation and practice, but also produces a road map for everywhere-available strong authentication in the future cyber world.
