Overview
While adopting MFA is a great step forward, some factors are safer than others. As you might imagine a code (OTP) sent through SMS or email, which is still prone to phishing attacks, is considerably less secure than a biometric factor for example.
Remediation guidance
Consult the Okta documentation and, depending on your security requirements, disable certain factors from the Authenticators page and/or edit the rules of your authentication policies from the Authentication Policies page.
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.
Okta
Use tenant-wide sign-on policies, MFA policies, admin-role governance, and identity lifecycle automation 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.
