Azure Ad Mfa

Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of security beyond standard usernames and passwords. It requires users to verify their identity with a second factor, such as receiving a code via text message or authenticator app, to access cloud or on-premises resources. The presentation demonstrates how MFA works by requiring a second authentication step on a mobile device after users enter their credentials. It also outlines why MFA is important for improving security and preventing unauthorized access across various applications and services.
