Use Duo to Knock the Microsoft MFA Requirement for Azure Out of the Park

Microsoft recently announced that they will be requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all Azure logins starting in February. Overall, this is very good news. MFA is a powerful tool in preventing credential compromise. However, any requirement like this gives IT and Security teams at least a little heartburn. The prospect of forcing everyone to do anything is always daunting. After the last webinar Duo ran around this topic and the many questions we helped answer, we decided to run this event again to make sure this information is clear.

At Duo, we want to make this transition as seamless as possible. In fact, we think this is a fantastic moment to leapfrog the mandate, go beyond traditional MFA, and start implementing Continuous Identity Security. Continuous Identity Security is a way to look beyond the scope of authentication alone, incorporate both identity and device context, and get smart about defending against identity-based threats. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn about how Duo can help your organization:

• Easily protect Azure logins with strong forms of MFA
• Streamline access management to ensure the MFA mandate doesn’t frustrate end users and admins alike
• Expand beyond traditional MFA and build out a robust identity security program that includes Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and (Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR).
