With recent vulnerabilities such as EUCLEAK and Executive Order 14028 deadlines, phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is top-of-mind in Federal IT.

Although FIDO is the golden solution for phishing-resistant MFA, federal agencies with outdated infrastructures instead rely on PKI to defend against phishing and other cyber-attacks. Furthermore, FIDO may not be able to support specific operations that PKI does, such as digital signatures and file encryption. As a result, some agencies are slowly transitioning from PKI to FIDO as they update their IT systems and applications.

Agencies are tasked with complying with regulations while also ensuring that their IT infrastructure and operations are not disrupted. The most effective approach to support these various use cases is through a hybrid or fused method of authentication, such as a FIDO/PKI device, that is resistant to phishing attempts.
