Okta has released India-specific findings from its Secure Sign-in Trends Report 2025, based on analysis of anonymised authentication activity across major customer environments. The findings indicate that multi-factor authentication (MFA) adoption in India is above 89%, compared with a global average of 70%, and that India’s MFA adoption increased by 4.1 percentage points year-over-year.

The report also notes a broader global shift toward stronger authentication approaches, with phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication adoption increasing 63% worldwide. It highlights that, globally, a significant portion of users still do not use MFA, while Indian organizations are closer to near-universal coverage.

The India findings emphasize that while MFA coverage is high, organizations are increasingly assessing the limitations of lower-assurance factors such as SMS and voice, which can be vulnerable to social engineering. The report points to methods such as WebAuthn and other phishing-resistant approaches as part of the next phase of authentication maturity, particularly for sensitive access.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
