Description:

Verifies that managed devices are required to register MFA.

Why:

Reduce risk of an adversary using stolen user credentials and then registering their own MFA device to access the tenant by requiring a managed device provisioned and controlled by the agency to perform registration actions. This prevents the adversary from using their own unmanaged device to perform the registration.

Configured: Managed devices are required to register MFA.

Not Configured: MFA registration can be completed without a managed device.

Scoring: Contributes up to 1 point to the Posture Recommendations score.
