Interesting! I've been hearing that two factor isn't enough anymore is that true?
This job, it's linked to the courts, so everything is still on prem. Although, maybe if I get this job I can start an initiative to move to the cloud.
Correct, mfa ain’t enough. Especially in sensitive settings like the courts. Government gets twitchy about data going out of the country. You might even find dealing with the courts the mandate IS on prem.
But I’ve had clients/customers/whatever click on links and have their auth token stolen from the browser, allowed an attacker to come in totally bypassing mfa. I’ve also had customers have their phone number ported away to steal the sms auth. Shit is scary.
Pretty sure the court is mandated to be on prem if I recall from the interview. Browser stuff can be mitigated to a degree, but how the fuck do you stop number porting and Sim cloning?
So MS are dropping SMS auth totally. MFA requires an app, or it will. Its a VERY slow rollout.
