Brief Summary

Evaluating the strength of a “Multiple Factors Authentication system” (MFAS) is a critical task for the Penetration tester. Banks and other Financial institutions are going to spend considerable amounts of money on expensive MFAS; therefore performing accurate tests before the adoption of a particular solution is absolutely suggested. In addition a further responsibility of the Penetration Testers is to acknowledge if the currently adopted MFAS is effectively able to defend the organization assets from the threats that generally drive the adoption of a MFAS.
