Users Without MFA​

Overview​

The "Users Without MFA" widget highlights users who have not enabled Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on their accounts. This is a security concern, as MFA adds an additional layer of protection that helps prevent unauthorized access, even if a password is compromised.

Why It Matters​

For IT Engineers:​

  1. Access Security:
    • Identifies users who are relying only on passwords for authentication, which can be compromised.
  2. Visibility:
    • Provides a clear view of users without MFA, enabling IT teams to prioritize enforcement of MFA across the organization.
  3. Policy Enforcement:
    • Assists in tracking users who need to comply with the organization’s MFA policies.

For Security Engineers:​

  1. Risk Mitigation:
    • Ensures that all accounts, particularly those with elevated access, have MFA enabled, significantly reducing the risk of credential-based attacks.
  2. Compliance:
    • Enforces compliance with security standards that require MFA for sensitive systems and users.
  3. Security Strengthening:
    • Flags users without MFA, ensuring that security is strengthened across all accounts, especially those accessing critical systems.
