SMS should be banned it's simply unsafe and unreliable.

We used SMS for quite some time, changed the MFA vendor and start using App-based. I find App-based less reliable than SMS. If cost is not a factor SMS is a more robust option.

App based is the way forward

The most secure 2FA would be an out of band authorisation of any transaction using mobile app or similar

We're mandated to allocate IT costs to the service level, but this creates friction with Identity & Access Management (IAM). The issue: non-negotiable security costs (MFA, SSO, governance) often exceed the cost of low-value services they protect (e.g., internal portals), leading to business owner pushback. How have you addressed this "Low-Value Service Paradox"? Do you keep foundational SSO/basic provisioning as corporate overhead or allocate everything? Do you use risk- or value-weighted allocation to subsidize essential, low-cost services? Who owns the final decision on allocation formulas—Finance, CIO Council, or Security? Please share specific solutions and governance models that have made IAM cost allocation fair and sustainable.
