Which risk management strategy will ensure the secure configuration and deployment of a new supply...

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)mitigates identity theft by requiring two or more factors (something you know, have, or are) for access. This significantly raises the difficulty of account compromise, especially in environments with sensitive supply chain data.

NIST SP 800-63B (Digital Identity Guidelines):

“MFA significantly reduces the likelihood of credential compromise and is strongly recommended for all user accounts accessing critical systems.”

While patching and firewalls are important, MFAdirectly addresses identity theftprevention.
