AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Attackers continue exploiting gaps in MFA coverage, using stolen credentials to access VPNs, RDP, and Windows systems that still rely on passwords alone. Specops explains why protecting cloud applications isn't enough and how organizations can close these authentication gaps. [...]

Incomplete MFA implementation leaves critical systems vulnerable to credential-based attacks, increasing the risk of unauthorized access. Organizations need to extend MFA protection beyond cloud apps to secure all access points effectively.

Security-conscious readers may want to review the source and watch for practical exposure or mitigation details.
