CF-Incidents Access - Independent MFA for infrastructure applications

[ENF News Bot]

Access for Infrastructure now supports independent multi-factor authentication (MFA) for SSH connections using YubiKey PIV keys. This adds a hardware-backed second factor to SSH access, ensuring that a compromised device session alone is not sufficient to reach your servers.

With per-application and per-policy configuration, you can enforce PIV key authentication for sensitive usernames (for example, root) while applying different requirements for other usernames. You can also set an MFA session duration to control how often users must re-authenticate.
