Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

I introduced Office 365 to improve the security posture and protection of the business.

Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

In this project, I introduced the Office 365 cloud platform as an ongoing effort to improve the security posture and protection of business data.

MFA works by requiring additional verification information (factors). One of the most common MFA factors that users encounter are one-time passwords (OTP). OTPs are those 4-8 digit codes that you often receive via email, SMS or some sort of mobile app.

To implement an Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solution, we must deploy a federation solution or sync on-premises identities to the cloud. The method I designed here for Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is having an sms enabled phone and a secondary email.
