Protecting campus resources with simple username and password is no longer a viable way to provide a layer of first-defense for authentication. Campus resources must now adopt more sophisticated strategies for having users prove they are who they say they are.

This group of panelists has experience deploying multi-factor authentication and adding contextual inputs to the authentication process, and we'll gain insight from their experiences, which includes:

  • University of Victoria: Deploying MFA with Yubikey hardware tokens to protect access to Banner 8, Banner 9, Cisco VPN, and Unix shell.
  • Thompson Rivers University: Deploying MFA with Duo for the Windows desktop 
  • University of British Columbia: Deploying MFA with Duo to protect a wide range of resources 
  • University of Calgary: Deploying MFA with the Microsoft Azure MFA service
