OktaOverview
Users with administrative rights are targeted by attackers. Requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) on those accounts is an easy way to reduce the risk of those accounts being compromised.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an important tool in protecting corporate resources. MFA, also called 2-step verification (2SV), requires users to verify their identity through something they know (such as a password) plus something they have (such as a physical key or access code)
Remediation guidance
Depending on the provider and the service you use, check out the following resources:
AWS
Azure/Entra ID
Google Cloud/Workspace
Alibaba
Okta
Service-wide remediation
Recommended when many resources are affected: fix the platform baseline first so new resources inherit the secure setting, then remediate the existing flagged resources in batches.
AWS
Use AWS Organizations guardrails, AWS Config rules or conformance packs where they fit, approved account baselines, and IaC modules so new resources inherit the secure setting.
Alibaba Cloud
Use Resource Directory guardrails, account baselines, and IaC modules so the secure setting is applied consistently across environments.
Azure
Use management group or subscription Azure Policy assignments, remediation tasks where supported, landing-zone standards, and IaC modules so drift is prevented at scale.
Okta
Use tenant-wide sign-on policies, MFA policies, admin-role governance, and identity lifecycle automation so the control is enforced centrally.
Google Workspace
Use organization-wide admin settings, security baselines, and delegated admin governance so the control is enforced centrally.
Google Cloud
Use organization or folder policies where available, shared project templates, logs and alerting baselines, and IaC modules so new resources inherit the secure setting.
Microsoft Entra ID
Use tenant-wide Conditional Access, role settings, authentication policies, and identity governance baselines so the control is enforced centrally.
Operational rollout
- Fix the baseline first at the account, subscription, project, cluster, or tenant scope that owns this control.
- Remediate the currently affected resources in batches, starting with internet-exposed and production assets.
- Re-scan and track approved exceptions with an owner and expiry date.
Query logic
These are the stored checks tied to this control.
