Multifactor Authentication: 4-Day Implementation

FSI Strategies

Implementation of Azure Multi-factor Authentication for an organization to implement a more secure workplace.

In this engagement, FSi Strategies will implement features from Microsoft Entra in order to create a more secure workplace. This include features within Azure Active Directory such as Conditional Access, Risky Sign-in, and Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. Layering these services together will provide a proactive security posture and utilize Microsoft 365 security services. This is critical and requires the right partner that can proactively fortify an organization's security against internal and external threats while giving users a streamlined experience. If you only use a password to authenticate a user, it leaves an insecure vector for attack. When you require a second form of authentication, security is increased because this additional factor isn't something that's easy for an attacker to obtain or duplicate. Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication works by requiring two or more of the following authentication methods: Something you know, typically a password. Something you have, such as a trusted device that's not easily duplicated, like a phone or hardware key. Something you are - biometrics like a fingerprint or face scan.

At the end of this engagement FSi Strategies will implement Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (Azure MFA) with conditional access.

Day 1 -Work with client to determine policies -Determine licensing requirements  -Determine what to exclude (location, specific users, service accounts, specific applications)  -Determine what to include (user groups)  -Additional policies  -Rollout timeframe and groups -Schedule user training 

Day 2 -Purchase and assign licenses if necessary  -Build Policy based on customer requirement  -Create security groups as needed  -Create new policies in Conditional Access  -Label policies as needed  -Select Assignment - MFA groups Include MFA users Exclude predetermined accounts/groups/apps  -Add additional conditions (if applicable) -Configure device platform: include any device  -Configure locations (if applicable) -Configure client app settings  -Configure device filtering (if applicable) -Grant access and require MFA (if applicable) -Set policy to “Report-Only” 

Day 3 -Conduct user training -Determine rollout policy and if changes are needed based on reporting -Set enforcement date based on user training and reporting

Day 4 -Enforce MFA  -Change policy from Report-Only to On.
