As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, ensuring robust protection of sensitive data and systems is more important than ever. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has become a critical component of modern security strategies, especially in cloud environments like Microsoft Azure. Traditional MFA methods such as SMS, email, or hardware tokens, while effective, are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks. To address these vulnerabilities and enhance authentication processes, a new approach is emerging: biometric and AI-enhanced MFA systems. By integrating biometric factors (e.g., fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scans) with AI-driven capabilities, organizations can achieve a more secure and user-friendly authentication process. This paper explores the potential of combining biometric technology with AI to create a more advanced, reliable, and adaptive MFA solution in Azure security. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and biometric data, these systems provide more accurate authentication, improve the user experience, and reduce the likelihood of unauthorized access. This paper also examines the advantages, challenges, and potential future developments of biometric and AI-enhanced MFA in securing Azure cloud environments.
