Re: MFA LMS

["Jones, Mark B" <Mark.B.Jones () UTH TMC EDU>]

We are using the SAML option for Canvas authentication and our SAML solution
requires MFA.

It is working well.

All,

 

I am curious if anyone is currently using or looking at using MFA in front
of their LMS and in particular Canvas? As the new norm is pointing towards
far more online learning that we will eventually see more interest in
maliciously accessing course content. 

 

The scenario I am thinking of is that of hacktivist catching on to the news
stories that are challenging the idea that HigherEd is offering a watered
down product at the same cost and then posting course material online that
they obtained illegally. Of course nothing is stopping someone with legit
access from doing the same but I think less feasible in my mind.
