Not all multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions are equal. For a two-factor authentication solution, that may include hidden costs, such as upfront, capital, licensing, support, maintenance, and operating costs. Estimate and plan for how much it will cost to deploy multi-factor authentication to all of your apps and users.
