Rule Text
Microsoft Entra ID must be configured to use multifactor authentication (MFA).
Description
Discussion Text
Without the use of MFA, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased.
MFA requires the use of two or more factors to achieve authentication.
Factors include:
(i) Something a user knows (e.g., password/PIN);
(ii) Something a user has (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or
(iii) Something a user is (e.g., biometric).
A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user.
Network access is defined as access to an information system by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network (e.g., local area network, wide area network, or the internet).
