Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Introduced Office 365 and put multi-factor authentication in front of it, as part of a wider push to protect business data.

The situation

The business was working to improve its security posture and protect its data. Introducing Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) was part of that effort, and multi-factor authentication came with it.

What I did

  • Introduced Office 365 as the business's cloud productivity platform.
  • Connected on-premises Active Directory identities to Azure AD, the prerequisite for Azure MFA.
  • Designed the MFA method: each user registers a text-capable phone for one-time codes, with a secondary email as backup.
