Abstract
A security agent configured to initiate multifactor authentication (MFA) in response to security triggers occurring on a computing device. Upon occurrence of a security trigger, the security agent delays action associated with a process on the computing device and provides, to a display of a user of the computing device, a prompt asking if the security trigger resulted from an action of the user. The security agent then initiates MFA with an MFA provider to authenticate the user and, based at least on a result of the MFA and the user answer to the prompt, takes further action. The user answer may be provided separately from the MFA or through successful completion of the MFA.
